Ronnie was a good guy. Our Sr. year we sat next to each other in Ms. Linder's homeroom and got into all kinds of mischief. Sorry to hear about his passing. He'll be missed.

Ronnie was a good guy. I didnt know him that well in school but we started work at the Sheriffs Dept the same day and worked together for about 7 years. We had lost contact and I sorry to hear of his passing so young. There are far too many red roses on our profile page

Ronnie was a great childhood friend - I am curious as to why no wife is listed in his obituary-last I heard he had moved to the beach many years ago and owned a hotel -does anyone have any info on Ronnie - hope he had a great life -he was always laughing and joking -will be missed

Ronnie literally saved my life. He and I were partners one night with the YCSO when we picked up a guy on drugs. We put him in the back seat with Ronnie while I drove. Ronnie yelled for me to stop and I did and looked in the back seat to see Ronnie holding a gun in the hand of the man we just arrested. He had pulled it from is pants; we missed it on the pat down and it was pointed at the back of my head. Ronnie was also my partner the night RHPD Steve Jordan was murdered when I found Steve's body in the woods. See you on the other side brother!
