Ralph Francis Ritenour

Ralph Francis Ritenour, age 66, a resident of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, passed away on Friday, April 26, 2024.

Ralph was born on February 27, 1958, in Bristol, Connecticut. He dedicated his entire career to working as an automobile mechanic, co-owning and operating Ritenour’s Garage with his twin brother, Randy.

He is survived by his children, Sasha (Jason) Smith of Lawrenceburg, TN, Marshall (Christiana) Ritenour of Montana, Crysty (Charlie) Robinson of Mt. Pleasant, TN, sister, Sherry Redenour of California, grandchildren, Carter Smith, Jasper Smith, Ocean (Katelyn Gobble) Smith, Amber Smith, Brooke (Nick) Griego, Blaine (Mackenzie) Kilburn, Levi Ritenour, Aubriana Ritenour, Suzanna White, Logan White, Weslee Robinson, and great grandchildren, Ryder, River, Penelope, Phoebe, Neyland, Natalie, Blayden, and Brynlee.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his twin brother, Randy Ritenour, grandparents, Mable & Frank Hughes, and granddaughter, Annabelle Smith.
