Ralph, you have been gone but not forgotten for two years today. Your family and friends still talk about the many memories you left behind and the many people you touched while you were here. I visit your graveside on a weekly bases, to polish your tombstone and bring beautiful flowers. I know you can hear me when I talk to you of the memories you and I made together for the 31 wonderful years we were married. You will always be my best friend and I know even though you don't respond that you listen to what I am going through without you and what the kids and grandkids are doing and how much they miss you. It's been a tough road, but as you were leaving this world you asked me to be strong for the kids and grandkids and baby that's what I am trying to do. My heart will never be whole again, when you left you took part of me with you. Until we meet again in heaven, you're loving wife, Gracie

Ralph Marron, also known to me as "grandpa Ralph" thank you for always believing in me. You were a great grandfather. You were always there for me and the rest of the grandchildren. i will always miss walking into your house and you saying "hi miha" and give me a warm hug and a kiss on the cheek. You will always be in my memories. I'll see you again someday. But until then i love you and i'll be thinking about you.
love always, your grandchild Brittany

There are no words to express how deep my sympathy goes for the whole Marron Family. Through the years I had the opportunity to watch this Father and Grandfather at Lil Ralph's baseball games. He would lean on the chainlink fence behind the batter and in his deep voice give the batter 2 word instructions "too high, too low or square up". The boys loved him! My heart hurts so badly for the amazing family! May His Memory Bring You Comfort. Love, LeKeita and Lane Sanders

Gracie & Marron Family:
As I sit here and write, I know that the Lord can only provide the comfort needed to you and your loved ones during this time. Ralph always welcomed me and my daughter and for that I thank him. Kenleigh and I can only offer our prayers during this difficult time - but know that Ralph has passed on to live in Heaven "cancer free." I once read words from another's sorrow - in which she said "My husband lives and the cancer died." I find comfort in I Peter 5:10-11 “And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.” This verse touched my heart so much, I wanted to share it with you all.
In Christ,
Marissa Devery and
Kenleigh Marron

Country, Pop, Tejano, R&B...it didn't make a difference what type of music Ralph was playing, he played it all well. His legacy will be the musicians' lives he touched, the families who depended on the band, and the gentleness and kindness he showed to everyone. He will be greatly missed by all. Ralph, I didn't get to say goodbye, so I'll just say, "See you later." God bless you & your family.

For 15 years, Ralph has been a friend and co worker. My condolences to his family. He often talked of them. Two weeks ago he called and explained his medical situation. He sounded good and had a positive outlook. He said he has had a great life, has a great family that he loves and has his faith. We agreed to talk a bit later and now what a shock to realize he is gone.

Gracie and family,
Please accept my deepest condolences on Ralph's passing.
Denver Harbor, Second Ward, Magnolia and countless other neighborhoods have truly lost a wonderful Tejano musician. Church bazaars were always made much more special when the Saints and Sinners were playing. Thanks for the music.
God bless you and the entire Marron family.
