Ronald was a lover of many people and a fighter like no other! And back in the day, he could country western dance like a pro! He was a great husband, an awesome dad and Pepaw, a loving son, an amazing brother and a true friend to so many!

Ronald worked most of his adult life as an electrician… both in the private sector and for 28 years at Dallas Independent School District. He retired from DISD in 2009. Within a couple of years he found a new passion for sharing his immense knowledge at Lowes Home Improvement in Forney. He worked there until his health started to decline a few months ago. Ronald never met a stranger and always had a joke to tell or a smile for someone who needed it. During his life, he has faced many challenges. He met each battle with determination and hope for recovery. And while he lost this battle, we rejoice knowing that he suffers no more and is surrounded by the loved ones who went before him.
