Ralph F. Burrell, Jr.

September 28, 1963 – January 22, 2026

Ralph F. Burrell, Jr., was born on September 28, 1963, in Plainfield, New Jersey, to Ralph F. Burrell, Sr. and Blanch Marie Clark. He went home to be with the Lord on January 22, 2026, at Cox Hospital in Springfield, Missouri, following a long and courageous recovery journey after a stroke in 2022.

Ralph was a dedicated and hardworking man who genuinely loved people. Quiet and gentle in spirit, he found peace in simple joys—being at home, watching car shows, and spending time with his faithful canine companion, Max.

Ralph’s life was a testimony of perseverance and quiet strength. Though his body was limited in recent years, his spirit remained steady, and his faith carried him through difficult seasons. We take comfort in knowing that he is now healed, whole, and at peace in God’s presence.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ralph F. Burrell, Sr., and his younger brother, Scotty.

He is survived by his loving wife, Teresa; his mother, Blanch Clark Burrell; his sister, Roseanna Wheeler, and brother-in-law, Charles Wheeler; his brothers, Christopher Burrell and Charles Burrell; and a cherished blended family that includes his stepchildren, step-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.

Ralph requested to be cremated. Arrangements are being handled by Herman H. Lohmeyer Funeral Home in Springfield, Missouri.

A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.

As Ralph did not have insurance to cover final expenses, an account has been established through the funeral home to help fulfill his wishes. The family is deeply grateful for all prayers, kindness, and support.
