The Journey Chosen for Ralph Edward Lillard

RALPH EDWARD LILLARD, was born November 12, 1950 in Omaha, Nebraska to Robert and Theola Lillard. Ralph shared his parents with four other siblings. Ralph fought a long hard battle and his journey here on earth came to an end when he transitioned from life to life on Friday, February 12, 2016 to join his mother and father in heaven.

Ralph graduated with his high school diploma and later became a truck driver in California, he was an iron employee and a construction worker. Anyone that knew Ralph, knew that he was a hard worker. Ralph was a quiet person but was very firm and to the point.

Ralph would attend church at an early age along with his family. Although he never joined any particular church, Ralph loved the Lord and carried him in his heart everywhere he went. Ralph loved to play pool and as Ralph got older, Ralph loved sitting up under the tree located on 24^th and Sprauge where he found peace of mind from time to time.

Ralph will be missed by all of us that knew him. He leaves to cherish his fond memories, his son, Ralph Jackson; a loving sister who was Ralph’s care taker until he went to be with the Lord, Crystal Meadows (Keith); Ralph’s other two loving sisters, Deborah Lillard & Cheryl Allen (James); Two brothers, Eric Lillard & Robert Lillard, Jr. (Martha); special thanks and undying support to the three special friends who came to see about Ralph – Clark, Lawrence, and Jonathan; he also leaves to cherish his memories, nieces, nephews, cousins and other relatives and friends.
