Ralph Leroy Larribas, age 58, was called to heaven on April 24th, 2022. Ralph was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico on August 7th, 1963. He is survived by his parents; Edward and Maida Larribas; his two daughters: Heaven and Aubrey Larribas; his brothers: Edward Jr., George and Chris Larribas; his 5 nieces and a multitude of friends.
Ralph worked in the petroleum industry for over 25 years. Although he spent many years in that field, it seemed as though he knew how to do just about anything. From being a motorcyclist, a survivalist in hunting and fishing, to being an absolute cooking master, along with a background in construction. He was a man of many talents. Ralph’s life was one of service, whether it was standing in support of someone during times of great need or lending a helping hand. He loved his family and friends and made sure they knew he could be relied on; whenever and however. Ralph was a man of his word. He was loyal, hardworking, dependable and had a deep love for those close to him. He made a lasting impact and touched many lives in such a wonderful way. He was always the life of a party, his tough exterior hid the loving and caring person he was. His wisdom will live on through his legacy, which was to love, laugh, work hard and be true to your word. His sense of humor was unmatched as was his loving heart.
We can only imagine the view of Jesus taking him by the hand and reuniting with many others in paradise where he can fish and hunt all day, ride his motorcycle, camp out and eat whatever he wants. He will live in our hearts and memories forever. We thank God for sharing him with us on earth and we await to be with him again. Until then, may he be a guardian angel to us all.
