It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Ralph Roberts Jr. of Moss Point, Mississippi, who left us on December 25, 2025, at the age of 82. Ralph was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 49 years, Peggy Roberts, his parents, Ralph E. Roberts Sr. and Eugenia Roberts, his great-grandchild Malakye Wayne Rice, his brother William Roberts, and his sister Juanita Harris.
Ralph's memory will be cherished by his children, Russell Roberts, Phyllis Haner and her husband Scott, Rebecca Lilly and her husband Sean, and Christopher Roberts. He is also survived by his sister Eula Mae Roberts, ten grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren, all of whom were a source of great pride and joy in his life.
