Ronald DePari, 71, passed away in Fort Myers, Florida on March 27, 2026.

Born on January 7, 1955, in Malden, Massachusetts, Ronald was raised in Arlington, where he built deep roots and lasting connections throughout his life. He was the beloved son of Lillian DePari and the late Ralph DePari.

Ronald was a dedicated and hardworking man who proudly served his community as a fireman in Billerica, MA. In addition to his service, he was a local business owner, running two delis, Boyles Family Market in Arlington, where he became a familiar and friendly face to many.

Above all, Ronald was a devoted family man. He is survived by his loving wife, Sandra; his children, Summer (and her husband, Billy), Randy (and his wife, Tiger), and Ronnie; his mother, Lillian; his brother, Ralph; and his sister, Diane. He was a proud and cherished grandfather to seven grandchildren who brought him immense joy. He is also survived by many in-laws, as well as many nieces and nephews who will remember him fondly, along with many lifelong friends.

He had a deep love for Arlington High School hockey and was a devoted fan of the New York Yankees, passions that brought him great joy throughout his life.

Ronald will be remembered for his strength, kindness, and the deep love he had for his family and community. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
