Ronnie was a huge blessing to me just being the man he was, so kind-hearted and gentle. As a single mom struggling with car repairs, he was there to repair my car when it would stop working. I know we will see each other in Heaven. I am thankful for him and his whole family. :)

Ronnie was a huge blessing to my husband and I when we were a young couple in the ministry. He advocated for us in the church and he did everything he could to keep our car limping along. He always had a smile, a warm handshake, and would take time to visit. We will miss him but know that he is enjoying the presence of the Savior! - Josh and Jackie Ray

Words can not express how deeply saddened I am with the loss of Ron. I know he is happier and pain free up in heaven and I am sure he is just as stubborn up there as he was down here. On the flip side of stubborness is love. And ron had one of the biggest hearts I know of. The love that Ron and Joy have is one that many dream of. May you take peace in knowing all the good that came out of ROn's life and all the lifes he has touched. My thoughts are always with you guys.

I had the wonderful privilege of being Ronnie's pastor in the 1990s. Ronnie had a love for Christ and a servant's heart. He would always use his mechanical abilities as a way to be a blessing to us. Ronnie is in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ now. Our prayers are with you, Joy, and for all those who sorrow.

John 5:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life." These words from our Lord and Savior speak to all of us. Ronnie was one of those people in my life who loved the Lord and was not ashamed to show it. I remember the bumper stickers on his car proclaiming the Gospel. Ronnie loved his wife and family so much. He truly had a servant's heart and was always ready to pitch in. We will miss him in this life, but look forward to sharing Eternity with him someday. Since I was his Dispatcher while he was a driver, he told me recently that he will "dispatch" me from Heaven when my time comes. Peace and Love to you, Brother.
