Ron was a native of Dothan, Alabama, attended Dothan High School, and moved to Mobile to attend college. He was currently a resident of Satsuma, Alabama.

He became a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor. He was the Director of Rehabilitation Services at Searcy Hospital (1974-1999) and retired from Searcy Hospital. He wrote and published numerous articles on Rehabilitative Services.
He continued to enjoy researching after retirement. He researched many topics for the family and found great deals on items and vehicles. Ron was devoted to family and loved the family gathering, whether at the farm with Mike, his brother, or at home with close friends and family.
