I met Ron in 1996 as a 14 year old trying to get my first pheasant. I attended a Pheasants Forever youth event at Lone Oak farm and hunted behind a beautiful german shorthaired pointer named Blitz. I did in fact get my first bird after missing quite a few, but enjoyed walking and talking with the dogs owner even more! Fast forward 10 years, STILL being in school at OSU I met Ron again as he volunteered his time to teach a gaggle of college kids how to shoot skeet. In 2007 the Indians were on their playoff stint against the Yankees and we sat cheering together with Ron and his grandson. Ron was a good human being who shared his time and knowledge, I will miss him!

Peg, Praying for you and your family during this sad time and prays for strength in the days to come. Feel fortunate to have known Ron and his great personality. ❤️

Peg, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I am praying for comfort for you and your family. We were blessed to know Ron and what a blessing to you for 39 years. 💕

Peg, we can't imagine how difficult the time since mid 2019 has been for you and Ron. We are sad that you had so much loss and heartache throughout that time. We are grateful for the love that you had for each other. We wish we had known Ron better. He was obviously pretty special. Praying for you and family.

Stu and I were so sorry to learn of Ron's passing. Stu especially has fond memories of hunting with Ron and we both celebrate his vibrant life, his caring nature and his unbounded love for you, Peg. We hold you in our hearts. With love from Stu & Carole

Peg, I was so sorry to read this and I am sorry for all of our loss! I remember Ron with such fondness as a kid! He always had a great smile and as everyone else has said, good humor. :) I wanted to bring Aunt Beverly to see him this spring. She will be so sorrowful to hear this news. Take care of you! We love you in the Rhoades family! :)

My heart aches for you. You gave Ron the gifts of love and gentle care. He knew and loved you for that. No spouse could ask for more than you gave because you loved him so much.

I am sure Ron and Dad are having a laugh together just now, but I am so sorry for your grief. You are in my thoughts, Peg.

My heart breaks for you, Peg! I can't even imagine all you must be feeling. I know your family, friends, and the faith you have will carry you through this difficult time. You are most definitely in my thoughts.💖

So sorry to lose Ron. He put up a dramatic fight with his cancer and Parkinson’s! We’ll certainly miss him and his humor. Our prayers are with you Peg and your family.
