Ralph Curtis Borden, age 66, of Russellville, departed this world in the early morning hours of Monday, October 27, 2025, at his residence.
Ralph, ever a true Patriot, proudly served his country in the U.S. Army. He worked in the Heating & Air Conditioning field for over 40 years. He operated First Service Heating & Air Conditioning for many years until his retirement in 2021. He was always a very hardworking man.
He was a true and proud Christian, who spoke of God daily. He attended My Father’s House Church when he was able. We rejoice knowing that he is now with Jesus Christ, but he will be greatly missed by everyone he left behind.
He was preceded in death by his father, Hayes L. Borden; his mother, Doris Britton; and many aunts and uncles.
He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Sheila Denice Borden; his children, Remanda G. Brown, Ralph H. Borden, Christina E. Riley; grandchildren, Curtis Brown, Lillian Riley, Donovan Riley; sisters, Pamela Dittman, Beverly Coy; and a host of nieces and nephews.
The visitation will be 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. Friday, October 31, 2025, at Spry Memorial Chapel. The funeral will be at 2:00 p.m. in the chapel with Sister Pearl Shelton officiating the service. The burial will be at Knights of Pythias Cemetery. The pallbearers will be family and friends.
