My Dear cool, classy, stylish Uncle Ronald, you are truly missed. Thank you for all you have done for me and my family. From sending me money in college to giving the best advice. You always had a way with words… as soon as you said … the thing about it is… I knew whatever following was going to be hilarious. Thank you for being there always. ❤️❤️
Love you Uncle Ronald, you will be missed. Definitely was the life of the party. He loved on all of us and our kids rest easy uncle.
Dear cousin Ron, you have earned stars in your crown for being a devoted son and nephew. My heart is saddened by your departure. But I will always treasure the precious memories of your love for family, your unique wit, winning smile and contagious laughter.
Much love.
My condolences to the family. Uncle Ronald, May you Rest In Peace and continue to share your funny stories in heaven. God Bless
Ron was a loving son, generous uncle, and wonderful brother. Whether it was current events, culture, or family, he was quick to comment and even quicker to find the humor. He was my little brother and childhood buddy.
We talked everyday and I miss talking to him already-his opinions, his thoughts, his wit, and most of all his laughter. There will never be another Ron. He will be missed by all our family. I love him.
Rest In heaven Uncle Ronald- I’m sure you will keep them laughing – May God continue to bestow blessings upon you-❤️
My name is Doug Perkins and I’m the nephew of Edward Taylor, good friend of Ron’s in Jefferson City. Ron was the best. Classy brother with a huge heart! He always looked out for me when I attended Lincoln University and spoke with him a few months back. I will miss him!!!!
Ron was one of a kind. While the world may have just got a bit colder with his departure, Heaven just got a little brighter. He made a distinct impression on my life when I was a student at Lincoln University. Thank you, Ron for your friendship and SO much laughter! Rest In Peace, my brother…
