RONALD HODGES Obituary
RONALD HODGES, affectionately known by friends and family as "Cigar," passed away on May 16, 2025, in Dallas County, Texas, at the age of 64. Born on March 10, 1961, in Dallas, Texas, Ronald spent his life as a dedicated general laborer, contributing to his community with hard work and determination.
Ronald was a proud graduate of Wilmer Hutchins High School, where he began laying the foundation for a life that would be filled with connection and joy. Known for his vibrant personality, he was truly the life of the party—always dancing and effortlessly getting the celebration started wherever he went. His outgoing demeanor and ability to bring people together created countless memorable moments that his friends and family will cherish forever.
While Ronald leaves behind countless memories of laughter and joy, his presence will be profoundly missed by those who knew him. He touched the lives of many and will always be remembered for his warmth and infectious spirit. As we honor his memory, we celebrate the life of a man who brought happiness into the lives of others and who lived each day to the fullest.
