Ronald Spell
October 26, 2022
Rocklin, California - With the heaviest of hearts and the deepest of sympathies, we announce that the most amazing Father, Husband, Grandpa, Uncle, Son, Coach and Friend that has ever walked this earth passed away on October 26th, 2022.
Ronald Spell was born in Cleveland Ohio on May 24th, 1939. After serving his country in the Army, he found himself in Southern California where he met the love of his life, started a family, and they pursued a successful entrepreneurship together which led them to Davis, CA. From there, the adventures were constant leading him into his retiring years in Rocklin, CA, where he was surrounded by his family and friends.
He was adored and cherished by his loving wife, Leilani Spell, of 57 years, and his 6 children; TD Spell, Gentry Spell, Chenoa Phillips, Cheyenne Spell, Lakota Verberne, & Cimarron Spell. His legacy lives on through his 6 grandchildren: Ayasha Phillips, Dakota Spell, Shilah Spell, Maverick Verberne, Dutch Verberne, & Keanu Verberne. He will be saluted and honored with a Veterans burial service and his immediate family on November 22nd.
Ron Spell will be truly missed by every person that was fortunate enough to cross his path. As one of the most generous human beings that has blessed this world with his presence, he also showered all who knew him with his unparalleled humor and wit. He has left behind a permanent footprint in the sand that couldn't possibly be altered even by the most remarkable of tidal waves. It goes without saying that his candle burned out long before his legend ever will. He will remain in all of our hearts forever and it gives us peace knowing that we will without a doubt be reunited someday.
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
We send our sincerest condolences to all who knew and loved him. A Celebration of Life will follow in the spring of 2023 for all friends and loved ones to attend. Please contact his daughters, Lakota Verberne & Chenoa Phillips, for more information. More details to follow in the near future.
