Not sure what to say?

This has taken me months to write...
I was a friend, Ronn's hair stylist, a member of the Cocodaco board and he was my son's mentor.
Gabriel would not be the dancer is he is today if not for Ronn. He believed in him, encouraged him and was a shoulder to lean on when Gabe needed it. He adored Ronn and will miss him the rest of his life as will I. Ronn encouraged me as well and I owe him so much. He was a unique person and a true talent and I think about him every day.

I am one of Ronn Stewarts training dancers and he was the biggest piece of my life. He showed me how to stand tall when I was being beaten down. I loved him more than anything in this world. His lessons in life guided me to a great place. I still go by his 5 ruled of MoPeD through out my everyday life. I miss him so much and the studio feels so different without him. I had the honor of knowing him and being a part of his life. He touched means everyone at foster in so many ways.

I do was so saddened this morning when I read
Ronn's obit. I had the
privilege of being part of
a visiting Masters Class. It was magic to see him move. Poetry in motion. It was an honor to have met and
worked with him. He made an impression on me of a true gentleman and an outstanding dancer and
teacher. The world lost
a very special person.

he left a mark on everyone he met. including me. i was devastated to hear he was no longer on this earth.

I was heartbroken this evening to learn of Ronn's passing. Ronn's grandmother was my next door neighbor when I was a young child. My sisters and I grew up with Ronn in small town, Atmore, AL. We spent many of afternoons and evenings in the yard playing, and even watching Ronn dance when he first began many of years ago. Memories made that I will never forget. We often boasted as we got older, that we knew a "famous dancer". May you Rest In Peace, Ronn . We'll never forget the good times!

Kevin and I are devastated to hear this tragic news. We've known Ronn and Ethan since we were 10 years old. It's so beautiful to hear about all of your accomplishments. You were such a beautiful soul and you've definitely touched every person who knew you. I want to let the family know that they're in our thoughts and prayers. It saddens us that you we taken so young... It's such a tragedy to know you're gone.

I am very sorry for your loss. I just wanted to share a comforting scripture. Hosea 13:14. Take care.

Ronn was such a brilliant and compassionate young man who will definitely be missed.

My daughter had the opportunity to dance at Joffrey Ballet- Chicago this past summer. She absolutely loved the opportunity to learn from him and she was devastated to hear of his passing. We are so very sorry for your loss. Adamczak Family
