It is with deep sorrow and enduring love that we announce the passing of Karl Lee Ramsey, on April 07, 2025 at the age of 31. Bold, unfiltered, and fiercely loyal, Karl lived life with passion and heart - especially when it came to Auburn football. He was free-spirited, quick-witted, and brave enough to speak his mind when others wouldn't. And more than anything, Karl had a heart wide open to the world - always the first to lend a hand, offer a ride, or sit and listen when someone needed it. If you needed help, Karl was there - no questions, no judgment, just love. Karl loved fiercely, laughed loudly, and lived life without compromise. Friends and family will remember Karl for his unmistakable spark and love for life.
He is survived by his loving wife of 5 years, Brandi Ramsey, his children, Lucas Smallwood, Jayden Gentile, Macey Perry, and Harlie Gentile, his parents; Maria Ramsey (Steve Philpot) and James Ramsey (Bobbie), his in laws, John Kinkade and Carman Quatrone, his grandmother, Patricia Mosier, his siblings; Stephanie Emporio (Kohl), Sarah Utley, Steven Philpot, Ethan Philpot, Doug Taylor, Connor Taylor, Braeden Taylor, and Tasha Martin, his three grandchildren; Savannah Rose Gentile, Koehen Gentile, and Kinsleigh Gentile and his nieces; Isabella Emporio, Giovanna Emporio, Ariyanna Emporio and Carmella Emporio his brother in law, Joshua Kinkade, along with a host of extended family members as well.
