Ronald David Burrell, age, 78, of Portersville, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 14, 2025, while under the care of Kadima at Harmony.
Born on May 4, 1947, in Pittsburgh, he was the son of the late Robert and Jennie (Avcin) Burrell. He was raised by his grandmother, Jennie Avcin (Morell) (Bosjanek) and two aunts, Mame (Mary Theresa) and Fran Bosjanek. He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Suzanne Burrell; and his daughter Michele Miller.
Ron was a very special man. He spoke his mind with honesty and authenticity and loved with a generous heart. He worked many years as a residential carpenter and truck driver within multiple companies spanning all 49 states. His family has always been extremely important to him and is made up of very special people whom he enjoyed traveling and going on Disney trips with.

Sharrer and his grandchildren, Stephen Sharrer (sp.Elisa), Angelina Saunders (sp.Asia, 3 great grandchildren), Carly Sharrer (granddog Snickerdoodle), as well as a beloved longtime family friend, Barbara Andrascik (her dog Willow).
