Ralph E. DellaPenna 1969-2023

WARREN -- Ralph E. DellaPenna, 53, of Warren, passed away Wednesday, May 3, 2023.

Ralph, fondly known as Ralphy, was born June 16, 1969, the son of Charles C. DellaPenna Jr., and Nomi Darhower.

He was a talented, hardworking and skilled concrete finisher. Ralph had a contagious smile that would light up any room he walked into, a strong, motivational voice and found a positive within any situation. He was known to be a supporter -- kind, giving, and humble.

Ralph is survived by his son, Vincent DellaPenna; the mother of his son, Renee Mitchell; his stepson, Patrick McCombs; three grandchildren; and his stepdaughter, Amber Toboz. He took the most pride in his children. He is also survived by his mother, Nomi; and nine of his 12 siblings.

Ralph was predeceased by his father, Charles; and three siblings.

The simplest pleasures in life brought joy to Ralph. Aside from concrete, he loved spending time with family, relaxing, and riding. He loved wolves, and motorcycles -- specifically Kawasaki. While Ralph left us far too soon, the impact he had on the lives he touched will be felt for years to come. Ralph's legacy can be honored by living life to its fullest.

There will be no services at this time, a celebration of life will be announced at a later date, in honor of Ralph's life.
