Ralph Grider

Ralph Grider, of the Millerfield Community, of Adair County, passed away on Saturday, August 10, 2024. He was 78 years, 1 month, and 28 days of age.

Born in Adair County, on June 13, 1946, he was the son of the late Joe and Alta Etta Stargel Grider. Ralph was a farmer and a proud US Army veteran. He was an avid hunter and thoroughly enjoyed being outdoors. Ralph loved to farm and graciously mowed the Millerfield Cemetery for over 20 years. In his pastime, he enjoyed going to church, and spending time with his family and friends. You would often find him watching his westerns, reading or doing his word search puzzles, as well as watching U of L college basketball games.

Ralph will be sorely missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
