    Ron,
    You were more than a coworker, you were my friend. I will miss our conversations about life, family, and football. I could count on you to be a source of positivity and always willing to give me a fresh perspective. The way you loved your family was admirable. You loved all of your girls, and was overjoyed to be able to provide them with a house last year. I loved that you were always trying to do more, to get better for your family and I will miss our entrepreneurial talks as well. My friend you left an amazing legacy, your girls will have a great man to call daddy. I will miss you. Sending love and condolences to your family, your girls, and your Fiancee. Rest in Paradise!

    I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with you. Your love and dedication to your family was evident in everything you said and did, and my heart truly aches for your wife and girls. May you rest easy, and may time bring them some peace.

    You will truly be missed and I sincerely, thank you for everything you did for us when we needed you. Your personality was so inviting and you are genuinely unforgettable. From the first time we met online at work; I admired your willingness to help, teach and motivate others. Always giving 110% of hard-work and dedication in every challenge you faced. One of the first people on the scene to make us smile and laugh when it was you that really needed it. Thanks for being our ‘Amazon Super-Hero’. My only regret is never having the pleasure to personally meet you and telling you a million times over, how much I truly appreciated all of your kindness. Rest in Peace Ron, I admired your strength and I thank you! Sending my condolences and love to your family!!!

    Ron, I don’t even know where to begin. Thank you for everything you did to help shape and mold my career at Amazon. When I shared my struggles of caring for my niece after my sister passed you were always a listening ear. I appreciate you asking me how she was doing every now and then too! You were truly an inspiration as a manager and friend! You will be deeply missed and my sincerest condolences to your beautiful family! Team Ravenclaw! RIH

  • Lexford R. Earle Posted September 21, 2019 3:38 pm

    I’ll never forget when I first started at PUP, how I was disheartened about where I was in life at that time. You didn’t have to, but you surely reminded me that we all have our own races and I was exactly where I needed to be, and would get far. You extended kindness in a moment that I needed it’, and you were right. From the PBL and PUP family, you’ll be missed, Ron.

  • Harry Posted September 21, 2019 3:51 pm

    So shocked when I heard this news. I flashed back to our times working together at PUP and how the guys would go shoot hoops after work. You were always full of energy and just always a kind person. Just saw you a few months back at the barbershop and still the same kind and energetic person. Friend, you will be missed greatly. My heart and thoughts go out to your family…truly sorry for this lost. Rest In Peace Ron.

  • Elmire Raven Posted September 21, 2019 10:45 pm

    Nephew, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. We had just connected on FB and I was looking forward to getting to know a little something about my great nephew. Sending much prayers to you and your family. Aunt Elmire

  • Velvet Posted September 23, 2019 2:59 pm

    Heaven gained a true angel from Earth. Your compassion, your wisdom, your laughter is and will be missed in our meetings, the rooms and the VCS world. May you watch over your family and lift them up in their time of need.

  • Diana Posted September 23, 2019 11:07 pm

    So sorry to hear about the loss of an amazing man. I wasn’t on his team but there were many times in the new days of working in Prime Now he shared wisdom and laughs. My thoughts and prayers are with all Ron’s friends and family members.

  • Clarissa Altamirano Posted September 24, 2019 8:29 pm

    Ron, you were so much more than a manager, you were a wonderful friend and an inspiration. I’m deeply saddened by your passing. You were an amazing father and leader. I loved hearing about your family and I appreciate all the time and effort that put into mentoring me. I pray that God’s grace and mercy comforts and strengthens your loved ones. Sleep peacefully in our Savior’s loving arms , my friend!
