Ronald Trout

Ronald Trout, 66, of Long Branch, NJ passed away on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2024 surrounded by loved ones after a long battle with heart disease. Ronald was born on January 13, 1958 at Fort Monmouth and grew up in Long Branch, NJ. After graduating from Devry University, Ron spent time in Florida before moving back to Monmouth County, NJ to start a family. He dedicated himself to MCI WorldCom and CommVault, and took much pride in being "Long Branch Strong", being a father, and being a little league coach, as many still refer to him as "Coach Ron."
He is preceded in death by his brother, Thomas Trout, his Father, Ah Moa Liu, his nephew, Robert Trout, and his brothers-in-law, Dell Molloy and Angelo Romano. He is survived by his mother, Betty Liu, his children, Justin (Lucienne) Trout and Travis Trout, his siblings, Scott (Debbie) Trout, Debbie Molloy, Charles (Sandy) King, Wendy (Nick) Nelius, and Linda Trout and many nieces and nephews. Ron was also a loving grandfather to his three grandchildren, Derek, Jaxon and Skylar.
Those who knew Ronald knew his easy-going, passionate about life, peaceful nature with a light sense of humor. One of his hobbies was writing music and poetry, and he didn't dwell on his health issues. Perhaps poetically, Ronald's successful heart transplant was performed on February 14, 2019 and he was given another five years to enjoy time with his family and friends and care for his mother. He also gave hope to those waiting for the gift of life by sharing some thoughts expressed in his poems, including: "It's best to laugh, but okay to cry" and "Chant, pray, sing the night away. Whatever helps you through to another day."
A memorial service will be held for Ronald on Saturday, August 17th from 9:30 a.m.- 11:30 a.m. at Fiore-Buckley Funeral Home, 236 Monmouth Road, Oakhurst, NJ 07755. For condolences, please visit www.fiorefuneralhomes.com.
