Ralph "Mike" Basil, 71, passed away September 25, 2025 where he reunited with his parents and sister. He was preceded in death by parents, Roger and Fannye Basil; and sister, Brenda Basil.

Mike was a sports enthusiast that loved the Buckeyes and the Browns. He adored Izzy who is a D-O-G (but we didn't say that word around her). Mike had a good heart and would do anything for anyone. He liked to watch his children and grandchildren play sports, camping, and going to Planks.

A celebration is currently pending.  Please check back for updates.
