Kenney 13 years have came and went. All of us have gotten older some have kids some have gotten married but your passing has not and will not get better with time. It still feels like yesterday we was kicking it in gym or heckling Mr.Price. The other day was memorial day i was on my way to sams club when they did a moment of silence. I had to pull over because i cried so much my kids asked me why i was crying and i told them about you my good friend and hero who paid the ultimate sacrifice for all of us in this country to be free. I love you Kenney and you will never be forgotten.

Went to basic Training with him at Sill. Though it was years ago and we never saw each other before or since, he was one of my "battles" and made an impact on my life at that time. Tomorrow is 2017 Memorial Day. RIP Brother and may you never be forgotten.

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and also to let the VonRonn Family know that we recently sent a donation to the USO in the name of Kenneth G. VonRonn US Army Private 1st Class.

We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.

Drew Wales

We were on fireguard all through AIT in Ft. Sam Houston together. We were naturally paired together for many tasks simply because VonRonn and Wales are in alphabetical order. I just wanted everyone to know that I was thinking of you and your family on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

I can't believe it has been five years since we have lost Kenny. My heart still breaks every day we don't get to see his smile. I see how all of his friends and my two boys have grown into young men and realize what a man Ken was at the tender age of 20. He will forever be our hero.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.


The Wind on The Downs

“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”

(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )

Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….

“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”


I did not know Kenneth, but I am remembering
his service and sacrifice. He is my hero. !

The Other Side

i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.

can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.

i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side

the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.

i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

it's gina. to tell you the truth bro i have tried to forget that your death even happened, but everyday i have ur letter u wrote from texas from basic training. i'm sorry for not writing to you, i just always thought you would be home. the day we had to put you in the ground i cried only one tear, ok well maybe 2 but i just let them roll down my cheek and i was numb from that point on..ever sence you left things here have been hell...i always wonder what it would be like if you never left. i have these dreams that are so real, where i can see you smile and here you laughing and it's a nightmare when i have to wake up and you not being there, it sucks. I really need you ken, i need your guidence and ideas on what to do sometimes...i wish i could see you again, i miss you so much. and i'm sorry that we havent been up to see you for a while. but when ever i go to see you caz i never thought the person that i had always looked up to was now someone i had to look down upon. well all i know is is that youre in a better place ken and you can have all the titties and beer, just save me a beer. i miss you kenny and i love you and i'm proud of you. hope to see you soon. i love you and i always will.

Dear VonRonn Family,

I realize there is NOTHING that could be said to you that could ever ease the loss that your family has endured... I wouldn't even begin to try.

I simply felt the need to convey my deepest, heart felt condolences, to those that lived nearest me...

I SIMPLY HAD TO reach out to those that lived closest to me and let their families know that the sacrifice that their SONS & DAUGHTERS have made ARE NOT, and WILL NOT be forgotten, and were not made in vain!

We gladly add your beloved son to our prayers, along with ALL of our other fallen Sons & Daughters!

God Bless YOU and YOUR FAMILY, and "MAY THE PEACE OF THE LORD BE WITH YOU!"

I don't pretend to know what to say or do that would bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON (KIA on 07/06/07) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Psalm 23



1

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3

He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.



This is a verse that I have found to be comforting to me during my husbands death. Remember that when it seems that no one else is round, God is still there with you! And he will be your rock!



My daughter,McKaLyne, and I send our heartfelt sympathy for your loss! God Bless this warrior, God Bless those whom serve freedom's cause! They are our true HERO's!!!!

Kenneth VonRonn is the definition of hero.....

John Lockwood

January 13, 2005

I remember when i first met Kenny when he started working at ACMoore and what comes to mind is what a straight-forward guy he was he always had the greatest tales to tell and if you were ever feeling down he was always there to put a smile on your face, Also he cared more for other people's happiness than his own and I will always remember him for this and for his ultimate sacrifice he made for his country so that his wife Kira, His family and friends, and even those he did not even know so that we could all sleep soundly knowing our freedoms are being protected. You truely are an American Soldier who deserves to never be forgotten.

Diane and Dan Boland

Ray, and Debbie, I wish you the best in getting through this, Maria, stay strong, and help show your family the way through this, And Kira, I am sorry we never met, and sorry for your loss, I am sure he will watch out for you forever.

Both Joe and Vicki would like to extend to Kira and the family our sincere sympathy on the loss of their loved one. We worked with Kenney at A C Moore and he always had a smile on his face and a story to share. He was a brave individual and has made his country proud of him and expecially the town of Pine Bush.

Rest in eternal Peace, Young soldier.
