Ralph Burham Obituary
Ralph was a hard worker from an early age. He worked on the family farm raising horses, buffaloes and alfalfa. He truly enjoyed the simple things in life with his dog, Midnight.
He loved the outdoors, from fishing to four wheeling to camping. He loved spending time with his family, especially his kids and grandkids. He was a man of all trades and could fix and built anything he set his mind to. He will be deeply missed by all that knew him and loved him.
Ralph is survived by his children, Amber (Rodolfo) Ortega, Eric (Amy) Burham, Leo Ash, Terry (Kelly) Ash, Linda (Domonic) Luna, Connie Ash, Joey (Colleen) Vieyra, and Sara Vieyra; 17 grandchildren, four great grandchildren, siblings, Geraldine Burham, Pat Burham, Karen (Darren) Smith, Gidget Pinkstaff, Timmy Burham, and Kenny Burham; and long life partner, Darlene.
He was preceded in death by his parents; grandchild, Helena Ortega; siblings, Pam, Louise, and William.
