Obituary For Ronald Stuckey
Ronald (Buddy) Edward Stuckey was born on February 12, 1951, in Richmond, VA., to the late Sadie Ervin and James Gilchrist. Ronald was in the first class of 1968 to graduate from John F. Kennedy High School in Richmond, VA.
After high school Ronald attended Virginia Commonwealth University before enlisting in the US Air Force as a Medical Admin Specialist and Statistical Clerk during the Vietnam War from 1972-1976. After being honorably discharged from the military, Ronald worked at Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C., where he worked as a psychiatric nurse. Ronald also met his future wife Carolyn Gray (Stuckey), who also worked at Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital as an intern social worker. From that union, two beautiful children, Madessa and Devin were born.
Following Saint Elizabeth’s, Ronald worked as a store manager for People’s Drug Store where he really enjoyed working with the public and excelled as an efficient and effective manager. He later became a Project Manager at the research facility Harry Diamond Laboratories, in Adelphi, Md.
Ronald moved back to Richmond, VA., to care for his late brother Robert (Bobby) Ervin, Jr., who battled with cancer. In 2018, Ronald moved to North Carolina to be closer to his daughter Madessa, who cared for him during his battle with dementia.
Ronald was a very charismatic and intelligent man that loved music, good food (he was a great cook), and enjoyed vacations, museums, and music festivals with his family.
Ronald was predeceased by his mother Sadie Ervin, father James Gilchrist, stepfather Robert Ervin Sr.; (siblings) Robert (Bobby) Ervin Jr., Lois Ervin, and Janice Gilchrist.
Ronald is survived by his loving family; Carolyn Stuckey (former spouse), Madessa Stuckey (daughter), Devin Stuckey (son), Jacqueline Stuckey (sister), Robinette (Penny) Ervin (sister), and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Ronald was loved tremendously and will be missed greatly.
Memorial service will be held Saturday, August 27, 2022 1pm Perry J. Brown Funeral Home Chapel. Service will be Live Stream; at perryjbrownfuneralhome.com

Tyrone Stuckey sent Giving Grace Bouquet for Ronald Stuckey - August 26, 2022
Peaceful Journey Ronald,
Your cousins Brenda, Sandra & Tyrone
To the Stuckey Family, I would like to share my condolences and prayers during this time of your loss. Stuckey was a man of integrity and well respected in our community. He was smart. articulate and encouraged me to complete my education in Political Science and I thank him for being an encouragement and those words kept me going until I completed. The memories will live on in me and I pray for comfort, peace and strength. Ms. Linda Irving Hewlin
I remember when I first met Ronald Stuckey. He and Carolyn were on a date, and he could not take his eyes off her, in such a loving, thoughtful, and respectful way. She was his beauty, the light of his life. Even after they married, had two wonderful children, and faced many of life's challenges, Ron's love for her never wavered.
What our family loved and admired most about Ron were his ideas and dreams (yes, he dared to dream), his intelligence, his kindness, and his steadfast devotion to God, family, and friends. We will all miss you, Ron! Rest In Peace, Cousin Bunnie DuVall and Family
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
