Ronald Arthur Vecchione, age 78, of Morganton, passed away at his residence on August 8, 2022. Ronald was a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and son. He brought sunshine and laughter into everyone’s life, and he never met a person he couldn’t make laugh or smile.
Ronald served honorably as a Medic in the Army, serving overseas in Germany, France, Italy and England. When he came home from overseas, Ronald went on to serve in the National Guard. He then became a supervisor at Pinellas County school. He had lifelong friends that he made while in the service, his workplace, and his neighborhood growing up.
Ronald is the husband of Dorothy Vecchione. They were married 60 wonderful years. They are pillars of inspiration when it came to their love and marriage to their family to follow. Ronald is the father of Mark Vecchione and Michele Newman. He is the grandfather of Lantz Newman, Jackii Sprehe(Grasshopper), and Lucas Bowman.
Ronald lived a long and fulfilling life, touching everyone’s hearts and leaving endless stories and laughter for his family. If it is one thing Ronald taught those around him, it was to live a life full of wonder, laughter, and playfulness.
A private memorial service will be held on a later date.
Kirksey Funeral Home of Morganton has the honor of serving the family.
