Two grandchildren Micah Wable, and Jasmine Doriot. Ronald is survived by his mother, Ruth Archer-Jones, and 4 siblings Rose (Jim) Poetz, Theresa (Mike) Hodge, Donna (Dan) Radcliff, and Melvin Decker.
Ronald was born in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 1, 1962. Throughout his years, he moved and traveled all around but always found his way home to Indiana. This is where he would put down his roots and start his family. Ronald was a jack of all trades, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. For most of his life, he was a master craftsman. There was nothing he could not build or fix. No matter where he went, he always found something to fix or upgrade. Ronald enjoyed spending his time fishing, gardening, cooking, playing guitar, and being with his wife and children. Ronnie was one of the most kind hearted people that you could have ever met. He was always the first to help anyone and everyone no matter what. He was the type of man who would give you the shirt off his back and the last dollar in his pocket to help you. Ronald touched the life of everyone around him. He was the type of man you could not help but to love. He will be missed immensely.
Memorial contributions may be made to Ronnie’s memorial fund, care of his sister, Theresa Hodge, 6275 East 169th Street, Noblesville, IN, 46062.
