Ronald Tunget Obituary
Ronald was a proud and dedicated business owner who built and ran his own trucking company, a reflection of his strong work ethic and independent spirit. Outside of work, he found joy in the simple pleasures of life-fishing, playing cards, and tending to his garden, where his tomatoes were a particular point of pride. He would playfully tease his grandchildren, spinning tall tales that showcased his quick wit and joyful nature. Ronald was a soft-hearted, selfless soul with a ready answer for everything and a smile that made others feel at ease. Above all, he carried an immense and unwavering love for his family, whom he adored deeply, a bond that spoke volumes about the kindness and love that defined his life.
He is preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Margaret Bensing; and brothers, Russell, Carl, and Billy Tungett.
Ronald is lovingly remembered by his wife of 30 years, Sylvia Tunget; children, Robert Tunget, Karen Rice (Rob), Robin Howard, and Jennifer Windhorst; grandchildren, Joshua and Katelyn Rice, Autumn Shirley, Emily Youngblood, Dakota, Jake, Dan, and Cherry Davis, Myranda and Alex Windhorst; great grandchildren, Summer Shirley, Shawn, and Nova Massey; great-great granddaughter, Rilynn Lee; brother, Curtis Tunget; sisters, Patricia Eden and Beverly Johnson; and a host of nieces and nephews.
His funeral services will be held at Owen Funeral Home, 5317 Dixie Hwy. The visitation will be on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, from 2:00-8:00 PM. The funeral will be the next day starting at 11:00 AM. Burial will take place at Louisville Memorial Gardens West, following the service.
