I never would have guessed that Ronnie was only 2 years my elder. I always looked up to him. Not as a big brother or a role model, but as my big brother's coolest friend. Ronnie never once picked on me or teased me and that was important to me - growing up in Steve's shadow.
I'm glad I got to see Ronnie one more time last summer. He'll certainly be missed.

This is by far the hardest thing I've ever had to write but hopefully it will bring some closure! On Thanksgiving morning the phone rang I answered "Happy Thanksgiving " it was Cindy's oldest brother Doug I can still hear his word's echo in my head he said "Steve I'm at moms house" there was an awkward pause then he said "Ronnie died last night"Ron was Cindy's youngest brother he was my friend for years before I ever met Cindy we were like brothers then when Cindy and I married we became brother in laws but he still was more like a brother to me!!I was blessed with this special friendship for the last thirty years!! We not only hung out together doing just about everything from hunting and fishing to working on cars or just partying and having fun but also we shared more addresses and places of employment than any other set of friends or brothers that I know of. Even when Cindy and I moved to Texas Ron came with us and shared a couple more address's and a couple more employer's.
Ron had been staying the night at his moms house because mom had been not feeling well and had a dizzy spell so he didn't want her to be home alone if she had another dizzy spell they sat up the night before just talking about old times at about 1:30 mom started to get tired and said she was about ready for bed Ron talked her into staying up for awhile longer to just sit and talk (He was never what you would call a momma's boy but he sure loved his mom) after awhile his back started to hurt so he asked her if he sat on the footstool in front of her would she rub it for him while she was rubbing it for him he told her how much he appreciated everything she had done for him over the years and that she had been the best mom that a son could ever ask for. By now it was about 3:00 am so she told him she was going to bed so he said "ok good night mom I love you"(The last words he spoke). The next morning she woke up at about 9:00 and made a cup of tea and sat in her chair next to where he slept when he stayed over night at her house after she had been up for a little while she figured she should wake him so he had time to shower and get ready for the big day of family and good food. But poor Ron was already gone he had suffered a massive heart attack in his sleep the autopsy showed that he had a genetic defect in his heart that made it work harder than normal also that it was enlarged two times more than its normal
size.
How ironic he died because his heart was to big. Ron had gotten a couple bum deals in life and had kind of gotten lost almost just giving up but right up to his very last breath was one of the kindest most generous people I knew if you were his friend he would do anything for you!! He was they only person I could call any time day or night and if I needed him I knew he would be there for me. I remember last winter it was about 5 degrees outside with 30 m.p.h. winds my heat tape went out and my pipes froze without being asked he showed up at my house with his carhearts and was right out there with me laying on the ground changing my heat tape we could only work for short amounts of time before taking breaks to thaw our fingers but we got it done!!Sometimes I feel haunted because we shared so much and enjoyed so may of the same things in life that I have so many things that force me to think that he's gone I know that when the pain eases I will be blessed to have so many things to remind me he is in my heart forever!!! I just feel lost without him nobody will ever be able to fill his shoes!!!
I guess the point that I want to stress is that life is short and none of us are guaranteed tomorrow so make it a point to tell the people that you love that you love them every chance you get and hug them as much as you can I would give anything to hug Ron and tell him I love him one more time and thank him for being my BROTHER.
I LOVE YOU BRO REST IN PEACE

Kathleen,
I'm so sorry for your loss. My sister vicki called me with the SAD news. Ronnie was such a nice person. I remember when we were growing up what a funny kid he was, always making me laugh. My mom was so fond of all your children. I'll say a prayer for your family. I know my mom will be looking out for Ronnie in heaven.
God be with you all.
