In Loving Memory of Ronald Theron Dodge

Ronald Theron Dodge, 62, of Colebrook Township, passed away on Sunday, February 22, 2026, at UH Geauga Hospital.

Born on January 12, 1964, in Geneva, Ohio, Ronald was the son of James and Nancy (Smith) Dodge and was a proud graduate of Pymatuning High School.

Throughout his career, Ronald explored various trades. He began as a butcher at Golden Dawn, spent 15 years as a tow motor operator for KraftMaid Cabinetry, and later offered taxi services for the Amish community.

On December 28, 1999, Ronald married Mary (Button), and they celebrated 25 years together. He had a passion for bowling and was honored to be a member of the 300 Club. Ronald also enjoyed testing his luck with scratch-off lottery tickets.

He will be deeply missed by his wife, Mary; his children, Ronald Dodge, Jonathon Dodge (Taylor), and Nathanial "Tommy" Dodge (Karisten); his stepchildren, Ashley Francis and Carlos Francis III; his grandchildren, Shyla, Desmond, Brannon, Madison, Elizabeth, Jonathon, Austen, and Sierra; his step-granddaughter, Keira; his sister, Karen (Bill) Dickson; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Ronald was preceded in death by his father, his three brothers (James, Thomas, and Kenneth), and his stepson, Keith Francis.

In accordance with Ronald's wishes, cremation has taken place, and no formal service will be held.
