Publish in a newspaper

Ronald R. Ringholz passed away surrounded by his loving family, leaving behind a legacy of faith, generosity, and deep devotion to those he loved.
Ron was the beloved husband of Caralie for 34 years. He was a devoted father to Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Scott) Gajos, and a proud grandfather to Kelsie, Kelani, Cirilla, and Cassius. Ron's love for his family was at the heart of everything he did.
He was the cherished brother of Rita (the late Bill), Joseph (Sharon), David (Marilyn), John (Marie), and Mike (the late Theresa), and was preceded in death by his siblings Mary (the late Richard), Anne (the late William), and Paul (Linda). He was also dearly loved by many nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and great-nephews.
Ron was a true family man who found joy in simply being with those he loved. Faith-filled and grounded, he was an active member of St. James Catholic Church in Novi, Michigan, where he lived out his values through service and community. He was especially generous with his time, talents, and resources-always ready to lend a hand, offer support, or share a kind word.
A dedicated outdoorsman, Ron loved traveling throughout Michigan in his camper, exploring the beauty of nature and creating lasting memories along the way. He was also active in Scouting for many years, serving as a leader and mentor to countless young people.
Visitation will be held at St. James Catholic Church, 46325 Ten Mile Road, Novi, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025 beginning at 9:30am and continuing until the funeral Mass begins at 10:00am. A live stream of the service will be available, click here when the mass begins. Interment will follow at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery.
Ron will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered for his quiet strength, selfless spirit, and enduring love for family and faith.
