Rev. Ralph Lee McCall

Rev. Ralph Lee McCall was born January 19, 1942 to Annie Bell and Nuel McCall in Lake Providence, Louisiana. After attending Grambling University, he moved to California where he studied at Merritt College. As a young man, he answered the Draft and served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. Upon his return he took up various jobs, including furniture salesman at Fingers, before becoming a landscape artist entrepreneur at the head of ARB Service Company. In later years, he was also a partner at TME Enterprises. Since hearing the call to preach, he served the Lord through teaching Sunday school, his couples’ ministry and by example at various churches, including New Faith in Texas, Antioch Baptist in Atlanta, Georgia and Mt. Corinth in Houston, Texas where he spent many years as an associate minister. Blessed with a beautiful singing voice many will remember, ‘Aunt Hilda used to say.’ Though he was born in Louisiana, he spent some of his young adulthood in California and passed away in Georgia, he lived most of his life in and around Houston, Texas. Throughout his life he focused on helping those in need, whether required to give of his time, a patiently listening ear, his advice, or monetarily. A passionate and dedicated husband, he was happiest when showing his wife Linda how much he loved her. By his example, he instilled in his children faith, a strong work ethic, solid familial relationships and compassion for those in need. On January 21, 2021 Ralph McCall was called home to be with the Lord at the age of 79. He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Linda, his children: Michael (BettyJo), Sarah, Anna Leah (Mark), Rachel and Rebekah, his grandchildren: Joy, Jonathan and Victoria, as well as his siblings: Charles, Josephine, JoAnn, Donald, Tharus and Sham, nieces and nephews, his first wife Sharon McCall and a host of relatives and friends. He is predeceased by his siblings: N.B., Rev. Wilbert McCall, Kay, Delores and Doris. “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.” Revelation 21:4 Services entrusted to Gregory B.
