It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald Eugene Bartell Sr., who departed this life on November 24, 2025, at the age of 69. Born on March 7, 1956, in Detroit, Michigan, Ronald was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, as well as an esteemed member of his community.
Ronald dedicated a significant portion of his life to General Motors, where he proudly contributed his skills and diligence, earning the admiration of his colleagues and peers. He approached his work with passion and dedication, embodying the values of hard work and integrity.
Ronald's warm spirit, unwavering support, and sense of humor will forever be cherished by those who knew and loved him.
Family and friends are invited to honor Ronald's memory during a Family Hour that will take place at Elim Restoration Ministries on Friday, December 5, 2025, at 12:30 PM. This will be followed by a Memorial Service at 1:00 PM.
A Public Viewing will be held at the James H. Cole Home for Funerals - Northwest Chapel on December 4th, from 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM.
Ronald Eugene Bartell Sr. leaves behind a legacy of love, strength, and resilience that will resonate in the hearts of everyone who was fortunate to know him. He will be profoundly missed, but his spirit will live on in the memories shared by his family and friends. May he rest in eternal peace.
