MASSENA - Ronald Lisle Elliott of Massena, New York, passed away peacefully on March 16, 2026, at the age of 69.

He was born on April 8, 1956 to James and Evelyn Elliott in Toledo Ohio. After graduating from Massena high school as a National Merit Scholar, he attended Michigan State University, majoring in Astro Physics.

Ron was an excellent trombone player and performed with the MSU marching band. He enjoyed league bowling for many years and golfed whenever he had the opportunity. His care for others was shown in his donation of rare 0-negative blood for the past 40 years.

He is survived by his parents Jim and Evelyn, his brothers, Richard of Franklin, TN, and Kenneth (Sally) of Johnson City, NY, and sister, Jane Pfiffner (Mark) of Franklin, TN.
Ron's family is deeply appreciative of his close friend Thomas Leboeuf who was very supportive of Ron, especially when he needed him most.

The family will hold a private ceremony at a later date. He will be interred in Graceland Cemetery in Sidney, Ohio.
