Ron received the Lord Jesus into his heart and life and was a member of the Thirteenth Street Church of God under the direction of Bishop Willie I. Robinson and Bishop J. William Adderly. He was a faithful member who attended services weekly. He paid attention to the word of God and was open to learning more about the Lord.
