We lost our "second son" when Ron passed away. He brought joy whenever he was in our home and on the phone. God must have been lonesome and needed a good laugh when he took Ron to be with him. Adriane was considered a daughter to us and knows how much she and her family are loved by us. Ethelyn, you are still in our heart even though it has been several years since we have seen each other. His memory will never die. "Coach" and "Mama" Luhn, Coffeyville, Ks.

Ronnie was not only a teammate to the players, but to the staff and other members of the Cowboys organization. As one of the Athletic Trainers while Ron was with us I admired his toughness and ability to raise the morale of the team during some of the "down" times. I'll always remember him as a friend and consummate professional.

Ron may have been from the Williamsburg area his heart was as big as his adopted home state of Texas. I first met Ron through football camps with the Hampton Roads youth foundation and we became fast friends. I had him at the dealership to sign autographs on a few occassions and he was always the "life of the party". He made sure everyone was always taken care of. He was just one of those rare guys that knew his status as a Pro made him a role model and he made sure to always be the best he could be. Will miss you Ron... prayers to all of your family. I thank God I got to know you!

We are so grateful to have had Ron's influence in our lives and in the life of the apple of our eyes, our son, whom Ron recruited to Howard University. Ron had a way to make everybody laugh before they left his presence, and that is what we prefer to remember about him. A no-nonsense, down to earth person, and genuine good human being. We will cherish our memories of his smile and laughter.

Ronnie was one of the greatest football players the Coffeyville Red Ravens ever had. I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to coach and be a small part of his life. He came back to Coffeyville many times after his playing days. He will be remembered by a lot of those people for all the good things he did for our community and the state of Kansas.

God Bless the family.

Ron was a kind and incredibly generous person who never lost sight of the values we grew up with in Williamsburg.
He made his family and
hometown very proud. I'm grateful to Everson for being a
faithful friend until the end. I'm
also thankful for the memories of good times shared,
especially at the Tabb family
parties(Crystal City Gateway
Marriott). We had good old
fashioned fun (much to Coach
Landry's dismay LOL) You will
always be remembered for
your wicked sense of humor,
being a good cook, love of
music, your impeccable taste
in clothes, and devotion to
family. Thank you for making it
possible for me to see my first
NFL game. My thoughts and
prayers are with Shawn,
Adrian, Ayra and Ashley as
well as your dear mom,
"Miss Ethelyn", brothers Horace & Roscoe and sister
Lynnell. Love and Prayers

Being a huge footbal fan I heard about Ron and Everson's story on the national news a few years back and would think of Ron from time to time wondering how he was doing. I too am a kidney transplant recipient (2 times) and am almost the same age as Ron and know all too well about dialysis and transplantion. I am deeply saddened to hear about his passing. I was a big fan when he played and will always be one. I pray for his family to find comfort in knowing his fight with pain and sickness is over and that he is resting in God's hands. May God keep him well!!!
