Ralph Moeller
Ralph M. Moeller, 70, of Rockford, Ohio, passed away peacefully on February 1, 2025, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
He was born on April 30, 1954, in Coldwater, Ohio, to the late Louis and Mary (Feltz) Moeller. On September 18, 1993, he married the love of his life, Susan (Evans) Moeller, who survives in Rockford.
Ralph was a devoted husband, father, and papaw. He is survived by his children, Amy Helman of Celina, Laura (Michael) Minnig of Delphos, and Jason (Stacy) Deitsch of Rockford; his cherished grandchildren, Tristen, Ava, Jordan, Brandon, Koltin, Mollie, and Korbin; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews. Also surviving are his step mother-in-law, Wanda Evans of Sweetwater, Tennessee; his mother-in-law, Helen (Stanley) Baker of Rockford; and his siblings, Robert (Lisa) Moeller, Nancy Isaac, Rodger Moeller, Randy (Shelly) Moeller, Raymond (Lynn) Moeller, Rodney (Rebecca) Moeller, and Conita (Brad) Oaks. He is also survived by sisters-in-law, Rosie Moeller and Dawn Moeller.
He was preceded in death by his brothers, Richard "Dick" Moeller and Ronald Moeller; an infant sister, Victoria Moeller; his father-in-law, Bill Evans; a brother-in-law, Roger Isaac; and a sister-in-law, Nancy Moeller.
A 1973 graduate of St. Marys Memorial High School, Ralph spent 25 years working at Huffy Bicycle in Celina before its closure. He later worked at Stamp Co in New Bremen, Parker Hannifin in St. Marys, and eventually found joy in construction and as a van driver for the Amish community before retiring.
Ralph had a deep love for his family, especially his grandchildren, who were the light of his life. He enjoyed fishing, working with stained glass, leatherwork, woodworking, and tinkering in his barn-always finding joy in creating and fixing things with his hands.
