Ron was a great man we will always miss him. He gave me the nickname cupcake and it will always stick.

Jacob McCoy 'Cupcake'

So very sorry for your lose. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers during this time.

Sandee Hodge

I will always remember my cousin Ronald as a very nice man with his own quiet way of living his life. I respect that, and may his final rest be peaceful.

V. L. Parker III

To loose a nephew is painful for me, It makes me pause and think about the times I spent with him as a sweet little boy. I loved him from the time he came into this world and I will continue to love him as he now flies with the angels above. May God bless us one and all!

Mary C. Parker

I am saddened by the loss of my cousin Ronald. I will always remember childhood days in Walltown and his smile and wherever he saw me, he'd always yell out 'hey cuz'. I will be praying for Aunt Katherine and the rest of my cousins and family. Love you all.

Lisa Hedgspeth Bradley

We were blessed to have a wonderful friend like you Ron. Your family will be in our prayers.

David and Pepper

Ron was a kind and wonderful gentleman. I am glad I had the honor to work with him. Typically, when I walked in the door in the mornings, he would be in the lobby sitting in the chair drinking a cup of coffee and would always greet me with a 'Good Morning' and a smile. He would always walk around singing a song. We will miss seeing his smiling face and hearing his songs each day. Prayers to each and every one of his family members and to everyone that was touched by Ron in some way.

Wendy Powell
