Ronald Kerpsack Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jul. 16, 2025.
Master Sergeant Ronald David Kerpsack, USAF (Ret.), age 66, passed away on July 12, 2025, in Crestview, Florida. Born on September 6, 1958, in Youngstown, Ohio, Ronald lived a life defined by service, laughter, and devotion to those closest to him.

Ronald served proudly in the United States Air Force, where he rose to the rank of Master Sergeant before retiring from active duty. His military career was marked by steadfast dedication and discipline-qualities that continued to guide him long after his service ended.

Ronald brought joy wherever he went. His infectious laugh and generous heart made him a beloved presence in every room. Whether sharing a joke or offering a helping hand, he had a way of lifting spirits and forging lasting connections.

Ronald was a devoted father to his sons-Jeremy Kerpsack, Johnathan Kerpsack, and Matthew Kerpsack. He poured his heart into supporting them through every stage of life, always present with encouragement and unwavering love. He was also a loving partner to his partner Kate Gallardo.

In his leisure time, Ronald enjoyed photography, fishing, and boating-pursuits that allowed him to embrace nature's beauty and find peace in quiet moments. These hobbies reflected his appreciation for life's simple joys and his talent for capturing them.

Ronald's legacy lives on through the laughter he shared, the love he gave so freely, and the strength he showed throughout his life. May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him and continue to inspire kindness in others.
