Ralph E. Buck, Jr., affectionately known as "B," "Buck," and "Wreck-it-Ralph," passed away on February 10, 2025, at the age of 52. Born on December 9, 1972, in Barberton, OH, Ralph was the beloved son of Ralph E. Buck, Sr. and Barbara (Mills).
Ralph graduated from Massillon High School and dedicated 27 years of employment to Express Transmission. On July 16, 2022, he married the love of his life, Emily Buck. Together, they shared a passion for riding his Victory Motorcycle and exploring new places as part of the Indian of Ohio Riding Group. Ralph's adventurous spirit was evident in his love for racing his bike, including a memorable incident in Tennessee where he turned his motorcycle around in a puddle and he and Emily ended up in a pothole with water above their knees.
Ralph was a man of many loves, including steak, wings, and margaritas. He was a loving husband, father, friend, and son who was always ready to lend a helping hand to his friends. His family will forever cherish and miss his amazing smile, his comforting voice, and his exciting travel plans. Ralph was a great dad, and his presence will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Ralph is survived by his devoted wife, Emily; his daughters, Courtney, Serenity, and Taylor; his mother, Barbara; his best friends, Brett and Brad; and his in-laws, Leann, Shaun, and Jerry. He is preceded in death by his father, Ralph E. Buck, Sr.
