Ronald Dean Wilson, of North Canton, passed away on March 15, 2026 at the age of 79. He was born to the late Chester Sr. and Mary (formerly Parretta) Wilson on April 14, 1946 in Canton, Ohio. He attended Canton South High School. He was a proud veteran of the United States Army where he served in Germany during the Vietnam War.
Ron dedicated over 30 years of service to Hoover Company where he held many different titles. In his free time, he enjoyed golfing and fishing. He was also very meticulous about keeping his garage, house, and lawn in pristine condition. Ron always went above and beyond to keep things looking beautiful and he could fix anything!
