Ralph McGehee Obituary
Ralph's legacy includes his children Russell, and Angela; grandchildren Raymond, Raechel, and Cameron McGehee, and Mickayla Holland; and great-granddaughter Ophelia.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Ralph Sr. and Betty Keller McGehee, and younger brothers, Rodney and Michael McGehee.
Ralph spent many years in the automotive service industry becoming known in and around Atlanta. When he wasn't working, he enjoyed watersports, hiking, backpacking, camping, and snowskiing; anything outdoors in nature. His passions included photography, playing instruments, and making memories with family. Ralph always had a soft spot in his heart for animals, especially his many dogs throughout the years. He cared deeply for wildlife and their protection, holding reverence for all "God's creatures".
Services for Ralph will be held at McDonald & Son, 150 Sawnee Drive, Cumming, GA 30040 on Saturday January 17 at 11 am. With visitation from 10-11am.
