Ronald Hardges

Ronald Hardges, age 60, passed away on July 24, 2025. He was born on March 24, 1965, in Cleveland, Ohio, to his loving mother, the late Victoria Hardges, and was also raised by his devoted stepfathers, the late Eddie “Pop” and Melvin.

Ronald was the beloved father of Ronald, Ebony, La’Ron, Victoria, Za’Ron, Ja’Ron, and Sa’Ron; cherished grandfather of Wynter, Harmonie, Dionte Jr., and the late Daevion; and dear brother of Malinda, Raymond, and Melvana. He was a treasured uncle to Valencia, Sabrina, Jazzmine, Amir, Amia, Angela, and Raymond Jr.

Ronald had a deep love for his family and friends and truly cherished the time he spent with them. He enjoyed watching TV and lived life on his own terms—authentically and freely. He shared a special bond with his sister Malinda. Their exchange of “I love you,” “I love you more,” and “I know you do” was a constant reminder of their deep affection for one another.

His daughter Victoria will especially miss his unwavering love and his daily affirmation that she was his “Queen.”

Ronald’s memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved him.
