He grew up in Warren and graduated from Warren G. Harding High School. Shortly after high school, Ron worked for Ford before being drafted into the United States Army, where he proudly served in Korea.

He met the love of his life, Deborah Sue Fisher. The two were married on December 2, 1976, and built a loving life together centered around faith and family. Together they raised two children, Korri and Andrew.
Ron deeply loved his family and cherished the many memories they created together. Summer trips to Kansas and Branson, Missouri became a treasured tradition, and he and Debbie also enjoyed visiting Amish Country together. Ron was an avid Ohio State football fan and loved spending time outdoors.
One of Ron’s greatest joys was supporting his granddaughter, Bailee. He proudly attended her jiu jitsu competitions and loved cheering her on in all she did.
A devoted man of faith, Ron was active in the Church of the Nazarene throughout his life. He faithfully served at Warren First Church of the Nazarene, where he served on the church board and as finance chairman. Most recently, he attended The Naz Church in Grove City.
