Ralph’s journey began in Eden, NC where he was born to the late Annie Mae Scales and Watt Moyer, Sr. His legacy is one of love, faith and unwavering dedication to family and community.

Ralph’s early years were marked by his education at Douglass High School, where he laid the foundation for a life characterized by hard work and determination.

For many years, Ralph lent his expertise to Mohawk Industries in Eden, NC where his dedication and professionalism left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

Throughout his life, Ralph remained a steadfast member of Rising Star Missionary Baptist Church, where his faith in God served as a guiding light. His unwavering devotion to his church community enriched the lives of those around him, leaving an enduring legacy of spiritual strength and compassion. Ralph was not only a beloved son, brother, and friend but also a cherished father figure to his nieces and nephews. His love knew no unds, his guidance and his support were a source of comfort and inspiration to all who knew him.

In his leisure time, Ralph was a passionate supporter of the UNC Tarheels and the Carolina Panthers, his enthusiasm bringing joy to countless game days and gatherings. His love for sports was matched only by his love for fellowship and conversation, always eager to engage in lively discussion with those around him. One of Ralph’s defining characteristics was his meticulous attention of his appearance, a reflection to his pride and self-respect. His sharp wit, warm smile and impeccable style endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his company.

In celebration of Ralph’s life, let us hold dear the memories we shared and the lessons he imparted.
