Olger Rafael Vega

Ralph was born February 17th, 1968 in Boston, MA to Ana Vega of Puerto Rico. He was raised with his big sister Wanda, and became a big brother to Oscar "Caly" when he was 10 years old. They spent much of their childhood in Brighton, MA. He drove his mother and family nuts with all his antics. But he always had a sensitive soul, a big heart for others, great big smile, and a charismatic personality. He became a father in 1988 to his son Rafael Junior, and a grandfather in 2017 to Ariah Grace.

Ralph met the love of his life April in 2006 in Boston, MA. They were married twice once on September 18th, 2006 by the justice of the peace and in a wedding ceremony November 2011. They made a life together as best friends and soulmates in Boston, always laughing and being crazy together. Sticking together through the good and the bad. They moved to California in 2011, continuing to intertwine their lives together, continuing to laugh, and do things together he never imagined he would. They became doggy parents to Rufus, Toby, and than Ace. He loved his boys and spent many hours at the doggy park and cuddling with them. He spent his last years working on cars, scooters, and bikes, always greasy from hard work. Ralph not only touched the lives of his wife, his family, but everyone that knew him with his huge heart, compassion, generosity, and funny personality. Ralph joined God in the Spring of 2020 and will forever live in our hearts.
