Ralph Keuffer passed away September 15th 2025 at the age of 79.
Ralph Leonard Keuffer II was born January 22nd, 1946 to Jeannette and Ralph Keuffer I in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Known as, “Butch,” to many of his relatives, he graduated from Bradford Highschool in 1964. He then served in the United States Airforce from 1966 to 1970 before his honorable discharge. He worked the whole of his career at the bank (Brown National, Bank One, and finally Chase Bank) as a facilities manager over an expansive realestate portfolio before his retirement sometime in the late 90s.
Ralph had a lifelong love of hunting and fishing that he shared with some of his closest companions (including many loyal canines). He enjoyed gathering with his loved ones— especially if there was good food involved! He loved the Chicago Cubs and the Green Bay Packers; even in his final days, he didn’t miss a game!
Ralph is preceded in death by his parents and by his daughter Kimberly (Kevin) Johnson. He leaves behind his mom Dorothy, sister Beth (John) Benson, daughters Kristine, Kathleen (Kevin) Glass, and Melissa, granddaughter Darian (Ronnie) Glass, and dear friends and neighbors who became like family. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a local canine rescue or veterans assistance such as K9s for Warriors (a program that provides service dogs to veterans in need).

Martha K. says
We will always remember the uniqueness and humorous side of Ralph (a/k/a Butch) and his love of football and hunting. His heart was good and I am sure his soul is happy to see his family members that predeceased him.
