Ralph was born on November 28, 1974, to Glenda Humphrey's. He grew up in Artesia and was a 1993 graduate of Artesia High School.

Ralph's dream was to be in law enforcement. He started his career with the Artesia Police Department as a jailer. He became a certified officer in 1997. He first served his community as a patrolman with the Artesia PD. After leaving Artesia he continued his career in serving with the Eddy County Sheriffs Office. He also served with the Chaves County Sheriffs Office, the Fifth Judicial District Attorney's Office and lastly with the Eastern New Mexico University Campus Police Department in Portales, N.M.

In recent years he suffered several medical challenges that prevented his return to law enforcement. He was successfully treated and was making a steady recovery from his illness at the time of his passing.

Ralph is survived by his wife Lisa Yearwood of Roswell. His mother, Glenda West, brother RC Moore, grandfather George Humphrey's, his niece Rory Moore and his nephews Jonathan and Zephrey Bernal of Artesia.

He is preceded in death by his beloved sister Amy Bernal, his pop Lonnie West and his grandmother Dorothy (Granny) Powell.
