Ralph Howard Colson Jr's Obituary
Ralph Howard Colson Jr. born January 3rd, 1967 peacefully passed away on July 3rd, 2024.
He, known to many as Ralphie, was always willing to lend a hand and do anything he could to help anyone around him. He was a lover of animals, cars, boating, fishing, and tinkering on cars.
He was a well known figure in the community as a top notch mechanic, and an on call mechanic for Mobile Mark. He always had treats on hand for the furry friends of the car owners and would work tirelessly rain or shine to get people back on the road as fast as possible. His work ethic is what earned him the nickname of being the “energizer bunny”. He never stopped going.
He was predeceased by his step-father Leon Doney, his mother Linda King-Doney, and his brother Jeff Colson. He leaves behind his beautiful fiancé Leslie Dixon (Bunnell), his daughter Amber Bell (Jacob) with two grand children Sadie and Robert Bell (Bunnell), and his brother Tim Colson (Tallahassee). As well as a community full of friends and friends who have become family to him. He loved you all.
As per Ralph’s wishes, there will not be a ceremony. If you wish to honor him please go fishing, drink an ice-cold Mt. Dew, take a shot of crown, give an animal a loving home, or keep your car in good working order.
