In his life as a successful business leader, active public servant and generous philanthropist, Trent Ragland was known and loved for his boundless energy, genial spirit and wit, keen intellect, modesty and compassion for those in need of support or a helping hand. He took his responsibilities as a citizen very seriously. Mr. Ragland was born 12, 1920 in Salisbury, NC, the son of the late William Trent and Alice McKenzie Ragland. He grew up in Raleigh where he attended public schools before attending high school at Woodberry Forest School in Virginia. attending his freshman year at Virginia Military Institute, he transferred to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he was graduated with a B.S. in Geology in 1941. At Chapel Hill, he was president of his fraternity Zeta Psi and Rex of the Order of Gimghoul. Upon graduation, Mr. Ragland went to work for Superior Stone , which was founded in 1939 under the leadership of his father, William Trent Ragland, and uncle, Edmond Ragland.

Mr. Ragland returned to Superior Stone in 1946 and became president at age 34, in 1954. Under his quiet, strong leadership, Superior Stone became a major producer of crushed stone and related products in the southeastern U.S. He continued as CEO of its successor companies for 23 years as he led Superior Stone into a merger with American Marietta in 1959. American Marietta merged with the Martin in 1961 to become Martin Marietta.

Upon retirement, he was named Senior Vice President, Emeritus. He founded the NC Aggregates Association, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. An active man of wide-ranging interests, and a voracious reader, Mr. Ragland combined a far-ranging and successful business career with a remarkable record of public service and personal philanthropy. This one-time newspaper carrier boy who grew up in modest circumstances became a quiet-spoken business executive who moved easily among people and groups in all walks of life. His life reflected one who generously shared his time, talents and resources with others. His many activities in public service involved more than 20 non-profit organizations and state government agencies. include Chairman, The Independent Fund of North Carolina (elected Honorary Life Member); Chairman, Peace Board of Trustees (elected Honorary Life Member and received from Peace an Honorary Doctorate); Vice Chairman, Carolina Challenge and Board of Visitors, UNC-Chapel Hill; and member, NC Board of Conservation & Development.

Additionally, he was a member of the North Caroliniana Society and a recipient of their award in 2004. He was honored by the News and Observer in 1963 as Tar Heel of the Week. In 1977 he served as President of the N.C Citizens Association, now known as N.C. Citizens for Business and Industry. In 2012 he was awarded the P.G. Fox Compassionate Award from the P.G. Fox Society and Duke Raleigh Hospital. In 1959 Mr. Ragland established the W. Trent Ragland, Jr. Foundation. He quietly and effectively made generous contributions for over 55 years to many charitable and educational organizations and institutions in North Carolina and in the southeastern U.S. These included many involved in higher education, youth services, historic preservation, environmental protection, shelter and care of homeless, music, arts and culture. His generous gift of land made it possible for Raleigh to build a new Boys and Girls Club in 1977. The William Trent Ragland Building at the Research Triangle Institute was named in honor of his late father. In 1971 Saint Marys School named a classroom building in honor of his mother, Alice McKenzie Ragland, Class of 1914. Trent Ragland established an Anna Wood Ragland Library Fund at UNC-Chapel Hill to honor his wife of 70 years (married in 1944), Anna Wood. Proceeds of the fund support the North Carolina Collection at the Wilson Library where the renowned Hayes Library is now located.
