Ron was alway helpful and nice at work, plus his magician skills were loved by the students and staff. Rest in peace, you and Donetta were so wonderful and kind and the epitome of Christianity in action.

Ronald was the most pleasant person. Kind, gentle, and funny. In high school, he was part of the library gang who congregated during lunch in the library. His dad was my bus driver for my whole school experience and I can see where Ronald got his personality. Hugs and paraders to his family.
