Ralph Tackett Jr. of Kearney MO, age 71, passed away peacefully at Liberty Hospital surrounded by his loving family on March 19th, 2015.
Visitation will be held on Monday, March 23 from 6-8 PM at Terrace Park Funeral Home located at 801 NW 108th St. (169 Hwy & Shoal Creek) Kansas City, MO. Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, March 24th at 10 AM at the chapel. Online condolences encouraged (TerraceParkFuneral.com).
Ralph was born in Excelsior Springs, MO in 1943 and will be remembered for his 50 plus years of dedication to the grocery store business where he collected life stories and made the best of friends. Ralph was a lifelong golf enthusiast and spent his retirement days giving out advice at the Kearney golf course. An avid fan of MU, Ralph had an entire room of his home dedicated to sports memorabilia, and never missed a game on TV. One of his last requests was “don’t let them put a KU golf ball in my casket”.
Ralph is survived by his childhood sweetheart and wife of 48 years Linda “Pee-Wee” Tackett, his three children Jeff Tackett, Angela and her husband Mark Verhulst, Leisa and her husband John Westhoff, six talented grandchildren: Ethan, Evan, Andrew, Aiden, Anderson and princess Allison and his four-legged companions, Rocky and Gracie.
