He lived in the Tulsa area all his life. He was a hard worker. He worked several years building metal buildings and then went into iron work before starting his own business. He owned and operated Younger Metal Roofing at the time of his passing. He was a good Artist. He loved the outdoors as well. His hobbies were fishing, hunting, and camping. You could always find him on the creek bank or pond dam fishing with his grandkids. Making memories that will last a lifetime. Ronnie had a troubled life. He made a lot of mistakes. His troubles started at age 3 when life was too much with mom and dad, so he packed a bag, got on his tricycle and rode about 1/2 block and came back. Although Ronnie had a troubled life and made wrong choices, his sins were no greater than yours or mine. He had a good heart and would give you the shirt off his back. In 2000 Ronnie accepted Jesus Christ as the Lord of his life. He loved the Lord, and he loved the Bible. He devoted many hours reading the Bible. Learning as much as he could. It was so fitting the day God called Ronnie home. We were playing Precious Lord Take My Hand as he took his last breath.
