Ronald Melvin Breeding born October 5, 1947 died alongside his twin brother Donald Elvin Breeding on August 26, 2024. He was proceeded in death by his parents, Troyce & Edith Breeding.

Ronald passed away with his twin brother in a drowning accident on Perky Lake in Hallsville, TX. They were one soul, so to speak. They were what brothers are supposed to be even now into their late 70’s. They rarely did anything without the other one. Ronald was a loving son, brother, father, grandfather, and uncle. He loved to fish, shoot guns, restore old vehicles, and watch boxing. For those that knew and loved him his memory will live on through every nibble on a hook, every old Chevy we see, and every “Let’s get ready to RUMBLE!” we hear. 

A visitation will be held Saturday, August 31, 2024 from 2:00 PM until 5:00 PM at Croley Funeral Home in Diana. A funeral service will be held Monday, September 2, 2024 at Woodland Hills Baptist Church in Longview starting at 2:00 PM.
