Ron was a "car guy" whose passion was rebuilding cars. His kids' first cars were his just some of his projects. He was a huge fan of hot rods, street rods, dirt tracks and quarter mile racing. A real people person, Ron knew people all over and would go out of his way to help others or to visit with friends and share stories. He enjoyed going on cruises and attending car shows. He was the king of bartering.

He is preceded in death by his parents; wife: Rebecca Ann Comer, who passed on Valentine's Day of 2002; and his brother: Rick Comer.

Those left to cherish his love and memory are his son: Brian Ray Comer and his fiancée Sheri; daughter: Billie Moore and husband Jason; brothers: Steve Comer and wife Connie, Ben Comer and wife Georgia; sister: Tammie Hartley and husband John; and one precious granddaughter: Briana Moore. Briana was his angel and saving grace, especially after the loss of Rebecca. He loved to spoil Briana and they were like two peas in a pod.
