Ronald was known for his giving spirit, his quick wit and ornery teasing, integrity, and unwavering love for his family. As a faithful Christian, Ronald and Mary dedicated their lives to serving God on the mission field in Mexico and Nicaragua, planting churches, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations. Alongside Mary, he embodied a life fully surrendered to the Lord, leading through example by laying down self to follow Jesus. Working with multiple ministries he continued feeding the hungry until his last days. He was known for his generosity, always helping others get a foot up, start a business, or get transportation. If you needed a shirt, he would give you the one he was wearing. Ronald and Mary stand as a powerful testament to the transformative power of devoted service to God. While heaven rejoices, the many people whose lives he touched will miss his beautiful smile and charming, warm personality.
