Alexander Ripka Obituary
Alexander "Alex" John Ripka was born on November 26, 1990 in St. Cloud to Robert and Darlene (Kilanowski) Ripka. He lived in the Rice area for his entire life. Alex was a self-employed groundskeeper. He was extremely hardworking and was always busy working on some kind of project. Alex was the type of guy you wanted to be around. He was generous, reliable, family oriented and a handy-man. He enjoyed farming, John Deere, four wheeling and being outdoors. Most of all, he was so proud of his little girl, Nevaeh.
Nevaeh Lorraine Ripka was born on December 27, 2019 in St. Cloud to Alexander Ripka and Kendra Mayer. She loved being with her family. Nevaeh always wanted to know where her daddy was and liked going on four-wheeler rides with him. She also liked singing and dancing, Minnie Mouse, doing puzzles, reading books and playing on the playground. Nevaeh was truly a ray of sunshine for all who knew her. She had a great memory and was always happy. She was lovingly known as "bug" to her family.
Nevaeh is survived by her grandparents, Bob and Darlene Ripka of Rice; great-grandmother, Alice Ripka of Waite Park; godfather, Dustin Ripka; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was preceded in death by her dad.
Alex is survived by his parents; siblings, Dustin (Tammy), Gregory, and Allison, all of Rice; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the Ronald McDonald House, rmhc.org.
Special thank you to all of the staff at Gillette Children's Hospital and Ronald McDonald House for all of their extraordinary care.
