After a long battle with declining health, Ronald passed away peacefully on the morning of January 5, 2017 at the age of 62. Ronald was born and raised in St. Louis and graduated from McCluer High School. He went on to study Mechanical Engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla (now known as Missouri University of Science and Technology) and earned Masters Degrees of finance, Business Administration, and Computer Science from Webster University. Ronald professed his faith in Christ and was baptized at an early age at Rose 11111 Missionary Baptist Church.

He will be forever remembered by his beloved wife, Michelle, to whom he was married for 28 years; his children, Ronald H, Rhyan, and Rheanna; devoted siblings, Madye (Cissie) and Charles (Chuck); 4 nephews (Grover IV (Aaron), Kyle, Kristo-pher, and Darryn) and 3 nieces (Kayla, Elese, and Alexandria), along with countless other family and friends who were blessed to have know him. He loved learning, reading, sports, cooking, music, and espe-cially being with family and friends. He was an avid history enthusiast, particularly events surrounding the Civil War-era. Through jokes and laughter, Ronald touched the lives of many with his drive for excellence, kind words, and sharp intellect. He will be deeply missed, but forever in our hearts.
