    I am so sorry to hear this about my former classmate and friend. Ronny was always so sweet to everyone. I know his boys will miss him terribly. Loosing a parent, especially a good one, at such a young age is hard and just unfair. Boys honor your farther with your everyday actions and choices in life. That is the best way to tell your daddy how much you love him. To Ronny’s wife, although I don’t know you and your boys personally I wish you healing as well. Be strong for the boys and know that things will get easier with time. Ask God, family and friends to help when you need it. I am sure your heart is not just breaking for your boys but also because of the loss of your soulmate. I send my prayers for your healing as well. Michelle Middlebrooks Rhodes

    I’m so sorry to have learned about this, Renee. Ronny and I were very close in High School and he will always hold a very special place in my heart. I got to meet your precious boys last year, when Ronny brought them to my book signing, and it was great to meet them and to see Ronny again. My family will be holding yours in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you all.

    I am so sorry to hear of this. I went to High School with Ronny (Rolo) and we were in the same youth group at FBC of Hope. Ronny was a great guy! Prayers for you all!

    Ronny was always such a great man and his smile made friends in every area of his life so easily. Many fun memories at the Hope Country Club with him. I know he adored his boys and loved his beautiful wife. May God comfort you in the days ahead.

    Ron will be missed by all who knew him. He was a good son-in-law & I will miss him.

  • Angie Vaughn Posted April 20, 2017 11:48 PM

    I thought he was one of the cool kids, he was a dear friend to many, a good son, and from where I was sitting, a great father, I only saw him around his children 1 time but I could tell by the way he looked in the pictures with his kids and his post of his kids that he adored them, my heart is sad and j have lost a friend, I won’t be able to attend his service but j will pray for comfort for his family and most importantly his precious sons. I promise to find them in the years ahead and send a letter of a funny story of their daddy so I can contribute to helping them keep him alive always inside of their hearts. Love you Rolo.❤️
