Ronnie was born Oct. 8, 1945, in Tulsa, Okla., and moved to Arlington in 1973. He was an Oklahoma highway patrolman for five years and for the past 38 years he has owned and operated a fiber optic cable placing company.
He was the most loving and supportive husband to his wife of 30 years and an amazing father. He loved riding his Harley Davidson with his daughter ("I love you, dad, I'll see you later! <3") He was a total -- and was loved and respected by all who knew him. He will be dearly missed but his love will be forever imprinted on the hearts of his family, friends and all those who knew him.
Survivors: His wife, Dory Cox; daughter, Kenzie Cox; sons, Brian and Brad Cox; father, John B. Cox; sister, Beckee Cox; grandchildren, Cameron Cox, Brice Cox and Brenden Cox; and his beloved chihuahua, Flip.
