It is an honor to know Ron and get to be a part of his big, wonderful family. Ron and my Mom, Charlotte, made such an amazing pair.

Ron was an amazing man and a true example of what Christian service should be. He taught many people through his actions what it means to be sold out to God. He was real and walked the walk every day of his life. Thanks to every single member of his family for sharing him with us. We are all better people because of his witness shown through the love of Christ. The Ray Boltz song comes to mind in remembering Ron 'thank you for giving to the Lord, I am a life that was changed'. Love and prayers to the family and friends. He will truly be missed but now he is in the presence of God.

Ron was such a blessing to so many and John and I were so honored to get to know him, his family, his church family, and one of his missions. He was so giving and caring and I will miss him. He and John are probably talking so much no one else will get a word in edge-wise. You have my condolence, love and prayers as you go through this most difficult time. May God grant you comfort and peace! Sandy O'Brien

Ronald Learn, you were a light to so many people it's only fitting you have a light from this candle burning for you. When Frank mentions the song," who's Gonna Fill these Shoes?" I realize that no one is going to be able to fill the shoes of this man. I have never met a better man, husband, father or Christian than Ron.

God called upon an angel he had sent to earth and sent him to his new home in Heaven. Ronnie "grandpa" Learn you was a true blessing to my family he was like a dad to my dad and mom he treated my daughter and I as his own grandkids. Kaylynn and I always looked forward to seeing you on Sunday mornings as we would enter Northside Church. It will be sad and hard to go and not see you smile at Kaylynn after she gives you a five and hugs you. You will sadly be missed but you and all the great memories that everyone has with you will live forever in our hearts. We Love You. Lisa & Kaylynn
