Jonathan Ronson Obituary

Ronson, Jonathan
ALBANY - Jonathan Robert Ronson, 69, of Albany, N.Y., slipped peacefully into the arms of Jesus, on May 23, 2025, in Albany.
Born February 18, 1956, in Tarrytown, N.Y., he was the son of the late Robert and June Ronson, of Middletown, N.Y.
Jon attended Nyack Missionary College before settling in the Capital District as a property manager, followed by many years as a family court security officer in Albany County.
The true love of his life was his church family, so we share our sorrow with his many brothers and sisters at Our Savior's Lutheran Church in Colonie. The enduring and deep love these friends showed was ever-present, whether in triumph or defeat.
Jon will long be remembered for his faith in Christ manifested through memory of scripture, which he revered. Jon eagerly shared his deeply held faith. Every encounter with Jon was sprinkled with humor, a legacy that entertained him the most.
Jon is survived by siblings, Roberta Hoyt (David) of Middletown, David Ronson (Cora Emily) of Port Jervis, and Elisabeth LaPierre (Bruce) of Maplecrest. Jon was blessed to be an uncle to Nathan, Jennifer, Kate, Kelly, Dan, Laura, and Kyle. He was also a great-uncle to 12 great-nephews and great-nieces.
A memorial service will be held at Our Savior's Lutheran on August 27, 11:00 a.m.

On this planet, we will miss you, brother Jon. See you in heaven!

I had the pleasure of working with Jon at ACFC... he was by far the kindest man...loved his sense of humor and blessings....he was always thinking of others...and his generosity will never be forgotten.... Years ago when he resided near the new court building he gifted me with his second on-street parking pass so I wouldn´t have to walk a long distance at night to my car... the day he gave me that I cried... he was just that sweet. I will remember him fondly forever as that sweet, polite, humble Godly man with a gentle, generous soul. Bless you all.

Jon was a good man whom I worked with at Albany Co. Family Court. May his memory forever be a blessing to Jon's family and Church family.
