He was a faithful member of First Baptist Church of Brownsville for 50 years where he served quietly in many ways.
Full of wisdom and understanding, he loved his family with a love that comes only from the Lord. With a quiet disposition and a loving heart, he had a laugh that could put a smile on anyones face. Cycling and his grandchildren were some of his favorite pastimes as he grew older. He became very involved with the Brownsville Camp of Gideons International distributing Bibles throughout the community.
The last nine days of his life were spent under the watchful care of the loving staff at Sunshine Haven. The family is so grateful for the love and dignity afforded Ron during his stay.
