Dewey Ratliff was born March 21, 1951 in Kentucky to George Dewey Ratliff, Sr. and mother, Alma Whitaker Ratliff. They moved to South Bend, Indiana, the next year.
He and his wife, Julie, came to Bosque County in 1995 moving to the family farm at Norse. He found he had arrived home.
A committed family man, Dewey married Julie in Farmersville, Texas, April 8, 1989, and was blessed with three children.
Ratliff was elected Bosque County Judge in 2014.
His very diverse background in business and organizational management prepared him for the challenges facing local government leaders. While serving as the Bosque Emergency Management Coordinator, Ratliff was responsible for the overall planning, preparation, training and execution of disaster response and recovery services in the county and the region. He worked closely with community leaders and fire departments as well as elected officials in all levels of government while serving as a member of many boards.
Ratliff was a Vietnam-Era Veteran, a Life Member of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and a Life Member of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
In addition to his undergraduate degree in aeronautics, Ratliff had an MBA from the University of Notre Dame and Mendoza College of Business.
Ratliff was a man of strong faith and known for his quiet Christian character and strong beliefs. He attended Searsville Country Church and believed in the sanctity of life and the unity of the traditional family.
Ratliff is survived by his wife of 27 years, Julie, and his three cherished children, a daughter, and two sons, all of Clifton, Texas. He is also survived by his brother of Athens, Texas; his sister of Georgetown, Texas; his brother-in-law of Cedar Lake, Indiana, along with many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Combat Marine Outdoors, c/o American Bank, P.O. Box 2507, Waco, TX 76702-2507 or Camp John Marc, 2929 Carlisle St., Suite 355, Dallas, TX 75204.
