Ralph Kelly Sloan

Ralph Kelly Sloan, 88, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 7, 2025, at home.

Ralph was the son of Frank Creech and Mary Patterson Sloan. Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers Frank Sloan, Lewis Sloan, and Bobby Sloan, as well as his sister Doris Norris.

He joined the Navy and proudly served his country. Ralph was proud to be a Veteran.

Ralph married the love of his life, Patricia (Ann) Marsh Sloan. They were married for 39 years before she passed in 2003. He later lost his furry friend, Zipper.

Ralph loved everyone. He would give you the shirt off his back and his last dollar to anyone in need. He worked for 40 years at Robert’s Company/Whitin Robert’s.

Ralph is survived by his daughter, Tammy Rogers, and son-in-law, Keith, whom he considered his son; his son, Rodney Sloan (“Tater”) and friend, Sherry; and his sisters, Eva Sloan Coleman and Loraine Sloan Womack. He is also survived by his only grandson, whom he adored, Garrett Lewis, and Garrett’s wife, Kimberly. Ralph was so proud of Garrett and Kimberly—he loved them dearly. In addition, he is survived by his grand pets: Junior, Edison, and Lupin, as well as many nieces and nephews.

He was a devoted Christian and loved his church, Mt. Pisgah Presbyterian.

The family will receive friends Saturday, October 11, 2025 from 5:00 pm–7:00 p.m. at Bridges and Cameron Funeral Home. The funeral service will be held Sunday, October 12, 2025  at 3:00 p.m. at Mt.
