Mark was born on December 9, 1963, in Griffin, GA, son of the late Eugene
Howard Ralston, and Jean Williams Ralston. He was a graduate of Pike County
High School class of 1982. He attended Tennessee Tech University on a full
football scholarship. Mark was a wise, real, salt of the earth man with a keen
sense of humor. A great storyteller, woodworking craftsman, stone builder, deep
thinker and conversationalist, philosopher, an everybody stop and watch dancer,
an excellent hugger, and life was an adventure believer. He loved his family,
rocks, all things nature, sharing his thoughts and knowledge, sports, and spending
time on the river. He was retired from Bandag with over 30 years of
employment. A former Little League Baseball coach who taught boys about life
through baseball. A beloved son, husband, father, grandfather (Pop), and
brother. Like always, Mark left the party early. Go Dawgs!
Mark was preceded in death by his father; grandparents, Clarence Eugene
Williams, Sr., Evelyn Sutton Williams, Estes Homer Ralston, Irma Berthel Burtz
Ralston.
Survivors include his mother; wife of 36 years, Gina White Ralston of Concord;
daughter, Ally Ralston of Griffin; son, Colby Ralston of Molena; granddaughter,
