Ralph Morris Tackett, Jr.

Ralph Morris Tackett, Jr. was born on April 27, 1951, in Wyandotte, Michigan to Ralph Morris Tackett Sr. and Mary Manning Tackett. Ralph was ready to be with Jesus and his loved ones and left on September 25, 2021.

Ralph was a very kind and considerate man. He grew up in Michigan and lived there off and on for many years. After he retired from his job in Detroit, he and his wife Debbie Whitehead Tackett moved with their son, Ralph Tackett III, to Hohenwald, TN. He was then able to enjoy his dream of living in the country, drinking coffee on his front porch, and watching wildlife and nature, while enjoying living at a slower pace. Ralph’s hobbies included singing (He had an amazing voice but suffered from stage fright), playing guitar and especially spending time singing, building toys and crafts with his pride and joy, Ashton James Tackett. Ralph also enjoyed cooking, recipes, antique jewelry, and antiques. Ralph was an amazing gift giver and was always thankful to those that helped him.

Ralph is survived by his only child, Ralph Tackett III, of whom he was so proud, his daughter in law, Aimee Kinney Tackett, his grandson, Ashton James Tackett, grandsons Chris Tackett and Cody Tackett, his cousin whom he adopted in his heart as a brother, Richard Aslanian and his siblings Allan Tackett, Judy Tackett Cortez, and David Tackett.

Ralph would want us all to be sad he is gone but rejoice in the fact he was a born again Christian and he is now with Jesus and all of his people, rejoicing for eternity. Meet us by the River, Dad. Sorely loved and missed.
