Ralph Gagnon

January 1, 2022

passed away at the age of eighty-six on January 1, 2022. Beloved husband of the late Marjorie Gagnon for sixty-six years; loving father of Francis (Lesley) Gagnon, Cynthia (Robert) Reeg, and Glenn (Georgianna) Gagnon; cherished grandfather of Amy Tilley, Adam and Andrew Gagnon, Katie (John) Gresko and Laura Cass, Matthew (Jordon Agee) and Daniel (Megan) Reeg, Luke (Desirae) Gagnon and Abbey (Rich) Bachmann; loving brother of the late Doris Landry, Margaret McKibben, Hank Gagnon, Robert Gagnon, Daniel Gagnon, and his two surviving sisters Annette Roberts and Sheila Jenson; dearest great-grandfather of Avery Tilley; Jack, Evan, Lucus, Oliver, and Isabelle Gresko; Sam, Max and Lucy Reeg; Zoey, Izabella and Jerzee Gagnon. Ralph was born on the plains of western Kansas in Zurich, a small town rooted in waving wheat and strong family ties. He loved wood-working, gardening, stained glass and the Kansas City Chiefs. Always industrious and ever on the hunt for his next adventure, he resided in dozens of mid-west locales in his life. He was quick to make new friends and share a joke or two. A truly generous man—he lived his life of faith every day. He was a most loving father and will be greatly missed by all his family. A Rosary will be said at 7pm on May 27 and a funeral mass held at 10am on May 28 in Alva, Oklahoma at Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
