Kevin T. Ranck, 48, of Lititz, passed away on Thursday, February 19 ^th at Lancaster General Hospital.

He was the husband of Cherre M. Stephenson Ranck, with whom he celebrated 25 years of marriage this past May 14 ^th . Born in Lancaster, Kevin was the son of the late Fred and Rosemary Werner Ranck.

Kevin was the president and owner of Lancaster Design and Art, working there for many years prior to purchasing the business in 2001. Prior to this he had worked for Eby Quality Printing in Soudersburg.

He was a 1978 graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School and a graduate of the former York Academy of the Arts where he studied graphic art. He was a fantastic artist, serving as a mentor and sharing his love of art with his children and friends. He used his talents in many ways, such as designing tshirts that were sold to benefit Hurricane Katrina victims.

Kevin coached and was the founder in 1995 of  Warwick Little League Baseball. He was  a diehard NY Mets and Jets fan, an avid backyard wiffleball  and volleyball player. He loved the beach and loved to cook- a true chef. Music was an important part of Kevin's life and he was a big Led Zeppelin fan.

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Tim B. Ranck and his daughter, Erika M. Ranck, both of Lititz; his sisters Lois Murse of Millersville and Linda married to Gary Schmalhofer of Lancaster; and by his brother, Pat  married to Anne Ranck of Quarryville.
