Ronald Kirkham

nice person

Through business, Ron was one of the first people I met when I moved to Knoxville. He was a great representative for East Tennessee. Always so helpful and friendly. Though I have not talked him in too many years, I will miss him. Our world just got a bit dimmer without his light. Rest well Ron.

A person with a quite interesting history. I knew Ronnie years ago.

Mary Jane, I am so sorry for the loss of your wonderful companion. While working with you at Fulton, I always remember your encouraging words and smiles you gave me every day. I always loved hearing about Ron and Saleah and their great accomplishments. She was a beautiful young lady and you and Ron were great parents!! Sounds like she is doing well and I know you are very proud of her!! I pray for GOD's comforting arm around you both during this sorrowful time. We don't always understand GOD's way, but we just have to trust HIM and lean on HIM during a time like this. LOVE & PRAYERS ALWAYS!!!

Great classmate and fine person. RIP Ronnie!

Just wanted to say I am sorry for your loss and I just hope that thoughts and prayers will be with you in coming days.

So very sorry about Ron's passing. He was a leader of the Central class of 1957 and will be greatly missed.

Mary Jane,
Please accept my condolences and may God's peace enfold you. I still have remembrances of the beautiful print you gave me at my retirement and I cherish the fond memories. God bless.

Saleah, we are all thinking of you during this time and praying for your family.

We were so sad to hear of Ronnie's passing but know he is celebrating in heaven. We are out of town and won't be able to be there but are keeping you all in our prayers. I (Judi) have so many memories of good times shared at Central Baptist (Ftn. City) when we were all there as teens.

A good golfer and good guy.

Ron was a great designer and I loved his car watercolors. He was a pleasure to work with. He will be missed. God give you grace.

I was very surprised to hear of Ron's passing. I wish had gotten to really know him. He was a very talented artist and gentleman.

I will always remember him showing off his house behind the main house. He was so joyed to share the history of his collections. He showed me his wonderful paintings. I remember his constant smiling, a permanent smile. He even was smiling the day he locked his keys and his phone in the car at Target. Mary Jane had to come to the rescue! Whenever I think of him, i will always see him smiling. I am praying for your comfort and strength Mary Jane and Saleah. God Bess!

My family moved next door to Ron and his family around 1954 and lived there till about 1984. My mother was also an artist and kept me informed about Ron through her artist connections. I am so sorry to hear about his sudden passing. It is never easy to lose family and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God be with you and give you comfort and strength.

So sorry to hear of Ronnie's passing. I will always treasure a painting Jerry Harper framed for me that Ronnie did of grandfather kirkham' home place. Our thoughts & prayers are with the family. Cousin Diane west Dorris

So very sorry, Mary Jane. Prayers lifted up for you and your daughter.
