Ronald Jay Rich, 65, born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2020 due to complications of Covid-19. He was predeceased by his parents Marvin "Brother" Rich and Joyce Rich Benjamin. He is survived by his children Becky (Jared) Glass, Marc Rich, Heather Rich, and Evan Rich and their mother Rhonda Rich; and his sister Bobbye (Michael) Seligman and brother Charles Rich.
Ronnie was a talented musician who played many instruments. He attended Mountain Brook High School and graduated from The University of Alabama where he was a member of the Million Dollar Band. He then took his passion for music to enrich the lives of young musicians at Hanceville High School and Grissom High School as their band director. Ronnie later became a successful mortgage banker in Birmingham. His final days were spent in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, surrounded by a large group of close friends.
Ronnie’s greatest accomplishment was his children. He was very proud of them and bragged about them whenever he could. He had a good sense of humor even though he was serious a lot of the time but was not afraid to laugh at himself and make jokes whenever he felt the mood needed to be lightened. He had a big heart and cared for his friends and family. His advice was second to none and he always ended up being right.
He was a supportive and loving person and he will be greatly missed.
The family has designated CurePSP or the Birmingham Jewish Federation for memorial contributions
