I just recently started watching videos of his act after watching him on DryBar. He was definitely one talented man. I am so sad to learn today of his passing just over three years ago. My deepest condolences go out to his wife, children, and all those who love him. Thank you God for the time you gave him here on Earth so many could learn to love him in their own way.

My husband & I tried twice to see Ralphie May once in Naples Florida but the hurricane came so we changed to Las Vegas & two weeks before we were to leave Ralphie May had passed, the comedy world truly lost a legend. I miss your sense of humor and your facial expressions. RIP

OMG Ralphie! I LOVE you and will miss you so very much. I was lucky enough to have seen you perform in Phoenix 4 times over the past 12 years and you never gave less than 150%. Smart, witty, intelligent and, at times, down and out dirty...but ALWAYS ALWAYS absolutely hilarious!! I will forever cherish those times. Much love to your children and family. Although broken, a little piece of my heart will be forever yours. <3 tst4ralphie
