Ron was employed in the traffic control department at DB Schenker. He was always known as a hard worker throughout his life. Ron was a simple man, but a travelling one. He left Tennessee and pursued his dream of being an over the road truck driver and travelled all across North America. He was a man with a big heart and would help anyone he could in anyway he could. He loved his family dearly and all who knew him enjoyed his company.
