Ralph Arnold Saunders Jr., 68, passed away on August 19, 2023, in Rogers, AR. Son of Ralph A. Saunders Sr. and Ollie Lorene Saunders (Shields), Ralph was born on August 22, 1954, in Bentonville, AR.

Ralph grew up in the Gravette, AR area and had two brothers, Lester and Rob Saunders, and sister, Maggie Evans. He loved spending time fishing, hunting, and visiting with friends and family.

There was nothing but kindness and patience within his heart, and he carried on until his last breath, loving and caring for everyone.
