Ralph "Bud" J. Reynolds

Ralph Reynolds, 79, of Gary, IN, passed away on February 16th, 2026, with his family by his side. He is survived by his son: Thomas (Lisa) Reynolds SR; two grandchildren: Ana (David) Uzelac and Tommy (Isabel) Reynolds JR; and four great grandchildren: Joey, Kiley, Everly, and Lyla; brother: Tom (Rhonda) Reynolds; dog: Thor. Preceded in death by his wife, Dorothy Reynolds, of 50 years; son: Michael Reynolds; mother: Vera Reynolds; father: Ralph Reynolds; brothers: James “Jim” and Bruce Reynolds.

Ralph found joy in the simple moments—watching his great‑grandson play sports, sharing their weekly McDonald’s tradition, and spending time at car shows with his son, grandson, great‑grandson, and grandson‑in‑law. This led to many hours of LEGO cars being built during movie nights with Joey. Some of his fondest memories were the trips he took to Las Vegas and Disney with his beloved wife and family before her passing. Hillbilly up.

A private service will be held, surrounded by family he loved so deeply.
