Ralph Schoneman

With heavy hearts, Ralph Taylor Schoneman, left us at the young age of 54. As a dedicated family man, Ralph’s passion was being a husband, father, and grandfather. Ralph was the definition of living life to the fullest, living a life full of growth, heart, and perseverance. He defied all odds.

Ralph was born in Indio and raised in Coachella, California. He grew up in the Calvary Church with his grandmother, Margie Cleaver, where his family roots and morals grew.

Ralph is survived by his mother, Sandra, who was his backbone. A person who never turned her back on Ralph, and supported him through all endeavors.

When Ralph was ready to settle down, he found Michelle who became his wife for 25 years. Together, they had four children: Kayleigh, Holly, Brent, and Chloe. Ralph was then blessed with ten grandchildren, Brayden, Dayton, Aaliyah, Tucker, Adi, Zeke, Ziyah, Ameila, Malayna, and Banks. Ralph’s grandchildren became the main source of his joy, and the ones he spent his down time with.

In 1998, Ralph wanted to pave the way for his family. Moving to Idaho to join his Uncle George, Ralph helped grow KING GEORGE ROYAL FLUSH. He found pride in helping serve the community. Ralph poured all of himself into his work ethic, building a trusted name and legacy.

Ralph enjoyed the simply things in life, a warm cup of coffee and a cigarette in the morning while nobody was awake. Sitting and having a conversation on the porch after a day of work. Or hanging out with his cat, Peewee, and his dog, Penelope. Ralph enjoyed spending his vacation days camping with his family, riding four wheelers, and shooting guns.

Those who knew Ralph could expect good jokes, a warm smile, compassion, and support. He came into every situation with an open mind, willing to do whatever needed to fix any problem. Ralph’s generosity was never ending.

Ralph leaves not one, but a trail of many legacies. The world will feel empty with Ralph gone, but we will never forget the love and memories he left behind. Long live, Ralphie boy, Dessert boy, Dad.
