Ron served in the Army and often talked about his military time often.
He was a strong-willed cussing-sailor with a heart of gold, that he shared plentifully and indiscriminately with others who crossed his path. He was a loving father, family man and stand-up guy who was humble, receptive and kept his strength through humility and always evolving.
He is survived by his son, William Ellis Council; longtime friend and ex-spouse, Melanie Council; stepmother, Denise Hamlin; sisters, Peaches and Boochie; stepchildren and grands especially Tia and Jazmyn; A slew of special cousins, friends and family. Respectfully, Mona , Maurice and Joy.
Your sacrifice will not go in vain Dad. You are my superhero. In the words of your son, William Ellis Council. I will truly and forever miss you.

Ron, it was always a pleasure seeing you engaging with your son. I'd often tell you what a great father I thought you was. Always using your personal experience to offer words of encouragement. You had my full attention, as I have taken those words and used them to plant seeds in other people lives. By the way I'm still interested in Chess. See you later good man/good friend.
