Ralph McCray Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Day Funeral Service - Gahanna on Mar. 11, 2026.
Ralph Eugene McCray Jr. went home to be with the Lord on March 9, 2026. He was born September 3, 1970, in Lancaster, Ohio.

Ralph lived his life in service to others, often providing food and shelter to those in need, mowing grass for elderly family members, and being a friend to many. He was an avid Green Bay Packers fan, enjoyed fishing, and loved tending to his garden, where he took pride in growing the hottest of hot peppers. Outside of his family, his greatest love was for his chihuahua, Sweetie.

Ralph was preceded in death by his parents, Ralph and Deborah McCray; brother, Mike McCray; nephew, Bradley Julian; and special friend and brother-in-law, Donnie Lofay.

Ralph is survived by his life partner, Kay Foltz; beloved sons, Dylan (Bayla) McCray and Davyd McCray; siblings, Carla (John) Munyan, Michelle (Steve) Miller, Paul (Bethany) McCray, and Ryan (Kendra) McCray; as well as several nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

Ralph was a passionate man who lived life on "10," loving fiercely, helping freely, and leaving a lasting mark on those around him.

A private celebration of Ralph's life will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in Pleasantville, Ohio.

For Tiffin friends and family, a celebration of life will be held on April 4, 2026, from 12-3 pm at the Tiffin VFW 345, North Township Road 91, Tiffin, Ohio 44883.

Day Funeral Service is honored to serve the family of Ralph McCray.
