KENNETH RAGSDALE Obituary

HOYT LAKE, Minn. – Kenneth Ellwood Ragsdale Jr. died peacefully at his home in Hoyt Lake, Minnesota, early on the morning of June 18, 2014.
He was the son of Kenneth Ellwood Ragsdale and Margaret Montgomery Ragsdale, who preceded him in death.
He is survived by his two sons, Kenneth Ellwood Ragsdale III of Van Nuys, California, and Matthew Ragsdale of DeKalb; and a brother, George Ragsdale of St. Simons Island, Georgia.
Ken was a very giving person with a very large heart, and he left them far too soon. Anyone who met Ken was better for having known him. His family and friends will all miss him.
A service to acknowledge his passing will be conducted at a future date in DeKalb.
