Ralph C. Peugh Jr.

Ralph C. Peugh Jr. passed away on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at Labette Health Hospital in Parsons, Kansas. He was born on November 3, 1945, in Cherryvale, Kansas to Ralph Sr. and Evelyn (Nelson) Peugh. 

Ralph graduated from Cherryvale High School in Cherryvale, Kansas in 1963. Soon after, he served in the United States Navy from June 7, 1963, to October 30, 1967. His time in the Navy was an important part of his life and reflected his willingness to serve his country.

After his military service, Ralph was self-employed as a carpenter. He worked with his hands and built a life through honest labor and dedication. He was also a proud member of the American Legion in Independence, Kansas.

Ralph enjoyed the simple pleasures of life. He liked playing bingo, fishing, spending time at the casino, and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. These interests brought him enjoyment and were part of the way he connected with the world around him.

He is survived by his stepdaughter, Barbara Crozzer of Elk Falls, Kansas; his sister, Roberta Collins of Mississippi; and his brother, Frank Peugh of Idaho. He will also be remembered with love by those who knew him and shared in his life.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ralph Peugh Sr.; his mother, Evelyn Peugh; and his son, Stacy Peugh.

Ralph will be remembered for his years of service, his work as a carpenter, and the things he enjoyed most in life. May his memory bring comfort to his family and friends.
