RALPH B. LAWSON, JR. of Big Stone Gap, VA passed away in Indiana on September 30, 2017. He resided in Big Stone Gap all of his 64 years of life.

Surviving are his wife of 36 years, Kathy; 1 son, David and 3 grandsons.

Ralph attended Roller’s Chapel Church where he had been a member since 1998. He was a very active member, especially during our association year of 1999 and thereafter. Several years later, his job took him on the road where he wasn't able to attend like he once did. Nevertheless, he would always make provisions to help Roller’s Chapel in any way that he could.

Ralph loved to sing songs about the Lord. Some of his favorites were "In The Garden," "How Great Thou Art" and "Beulah Land."

He will be greatly missed by his wife, family, church family and his friends. Until we meet again, Ralph, where no sad goodbyes will there be spoken and time won't matter anymore.
