Ralph John-Donald Tomkins Obituary

It is with profound sadness and endless love, we announce the passing of our precious Ralphie on June 3, 2026, surrounded by the love of his family.


Though Ralphie was with us for only 12 precious days, his impact was immeasurable. From the moment he entered this world, he brought joy, laughter, hope, and a love beyond words. His bright eyes, sweet smile, and determined spirit touched everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.


Ralphie faced challenges that few could imagine with extraordinary strength. He was diagnosed with an exceptionally rare arteriovenous malformation (AVM), a complex tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain. Despite every obstacle placed before him, Ralphie showed a strength that inspired his family, friends, and medical team alike.


Though he was small, Ralphie was mighty. He taught us about courage, unconditional love, perseverance, and the preciousness of every moment. His strength was not measured by his size or age but by the incredible fight he showed each day and the way he brought people together through love and hope.


Ralphie leaves behind his devoted and loving mother, Jorden; his father Colton; his loving family, and a community of people whose lives were forever changed by knowing him. He was welcomed into heaven by his two great-great-grandpa Ralph’s and the loved ones who went before him.


The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and medical staff who cared for Ralphie throughout his journey. We are forever grateful for the care they provided and for the love they showed our brave little boy.


While our hearts are broken, we are grateful for every smile, cuddle, milestone, and memory we were blessed to share with him. Ralphie will be loved forever, missed every day, and carried in our hearts for the rest of our lives.


A Moment in our Arms, Forever in our Hearts
