Born on February 12, 1963, in McMinnville, TN, Lindsey was the son of the late Lillard Ralston and Martha Franks Ralston. A lifelong resident of Manchester, Lindsey was a humble, family-centered man whose quiet strength and generous spirit touched everyone who knew him.

Lindsey is survived by his loving wife, Tracy Ralston; his sons, Kris Derik Ralston (Brittany) and Kevin Lee Ralston; his step-son, John Wayne Stevens, and step-daughter, Carrie Elizabeth Stevens. He is also survived by his brothers Garry Lee Sparkman (Dorothy), Donnie Sparkman, Ira Joe Hayes, and Larry Dale Ralston (Rena); his sisters Sandra Kay Jarrell (Coy), Reta Meadows, and Elizabeth Ann Anderson. His cherished grandchildren-Isaiah, Aiden, Elisanna, Emma, Sophia, and Brayden Ralston-and his step-grandchildren, Anna Johnson and Ivy Stevens-brought him great joy. Lindsey leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will miss him dearly. Lindsey had a passion for the outdoors and found peace in hunting and fishing. He was a devoted fan of both Tennessee Titans football and the Tennessee Vols, cheering them on with unwavering enthusiasm. Above all, he loved his family deeply and lived his life with humility, loyalty, and heart. A graveside service will be held at Shady Grove Cemetery in Manchester, TN, with details to be announced at a later date. Manchester Funeral Home is honored to serve the Ralston family.
