    I am so very sorry to see this. Ron was always so sweet in school to everyone and loved to make us laugh. Him and his crazy arm tricks that he tried to teach some of us but, he was the only unique person to be able to pull it off “The step through”. He was unique in so many ways. I’m so glad I reconnected with him on Facebook the last few years. To his husband, you are in my prayers, I’m so deeply sorry for this immense loss. He truly was a great person, Beth (Ferguson) Copley, class of 1990 TCHS ❤️

    Mark and family, I was shocked to hear of Ron’s passing.
    I’m so sorry for all of you. I know how hard this is to wrap your
    head around. Just be kind to yourself, Mark. This is going to be
    one of the hardest things you will ever go through.
    When someone you love becomes a memory.
    That memory becomes a priceless treasure.
    Sending much love and many prayers.
    R.I.P. Ron…….

    Mark and Family,

    I am so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express how tragic this is! Mark, my thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you. Ron was what you could call a TRUE FRIEND. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, and always thought of others before himself. He will be terribly missed and this is just so sad. May you find Gods peace and comfort to see you through.
