I’m truly saddened to hear of his transition. We used to call each other BFF. He was such a genuine and loving person and I’m heartbroken to know we didn’t get the chance to see each other last time I was in the area. He will forever have a place in my heart with all of the loving times we shared.

We pray for peace, comfort and understanding during this difficult time. He loved his family very much 🙏🏽

Love you forever friend
Ron & Yolanda (Lil Bit) Ogle

I am so heartbroken that Ron has passed away. From the moment I met him, he became a part of my family. He was a second dad to Adam, and the most loving father to Robyn. The memories I have of Ron and Sherria at the wedding, and before that at the weekend of the shower, will always be so precious to me. But even afterwards, Ron and Sherria always took the time to send me cards and messages on holidays, difficult days, or just any time to let me know they were thinking of me. And when Ron hugged, you really felt HUGGED. What a wonderful man. He will truly be missed. Sending love and condolences to Sherria, Natalie, Erica, Ronnie, all the grandkids, and of course my brave and amazing daughter in law Robyn. There are no words.

So very sorry for your loss Robyn. Our sincerest condolences to you and your family. We only met him a couple of times but his warmth spoke volumes. He was so happy you were happy. He will live on in your heart and those who loved him.

Dear Robyn and the Ritchie family,
We are so sorry for your loss. While we didn’t get to know Ronald personally, he seemed like a wonderful and genuine man. His energy and happiness at Robyn and Adam’s wedding was infectious! We’re thinking about you and sending you our love during this difficult time.
Love,
Lindsay and Andrew

Unfortunately I didn’t know Ron for a very long time but from the first day I met him he said to me, we are going to be best buddies. I am so saddened by his passing. I will miss him always. I know he will watch over Robyn & Adam as they go through their journey through life together. I love them so much.

I didn’t know Ron very long but from the day I met him he told me we were going to be best buddies. I am so saddened by his passing. I know he will be watching Robyn & Adam on their journey through life. I will miss his beautiful smile.

Even though I did not know your dad well, it was clear that he had a loving relationship with you and Adam. When I spoke with him although briefly, an inner warmth shined through. I think you have that same warmth.
May he Rest In Peace.

It’s so strange to write this because I still can’t believe Ron is gone. He had a warm smile, and he just radiated with love and goodness. Almost like an angel sent to live with the humans. I met him in California many years ago. We lost touch back before the internet was a thing but later reconnected, and it was as if not much time had passed between us when we talked. We were always connected he said. He talked about travelling abroad someday, and visiting me in Canada. I hope he gets to travel first class in the afterlife, and continue to spread his warmth infinitely to us all.

We are so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. We met Ron and Sherria several times at events leading up to the wedding and during the wedding. His joyful spirit and warmth added so much to each event.

I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Ron. He was such a positive, happy upbeat guy who always had something nice to say and so loved his family! Robyn you were blessed to have a father who loved and adored you and was so very proud of you! Adam you were so lucky to have such a loving father-in-law. And my condolences to Sherria and the rest of his family! Treasure all the wonderful memories of such a wonderful man! He will be missed!

First and foremost, Ron was a family man. I don’t think anything was more important to him than his family. Also, Ron cared about animals. In fact he changed to a vegan diet to do his part to protect animals. Lastly, in spite of the unfortunate last month of his life, Ron believed in eating well, exercising and being well organized. Ron was a wonderful kind hearted man. He will surely be missed by many.

My dearest cousin. My heart is broken. We had an amazing connection since we were kids. We understood each other perfectly. Laughed at the same things until we were in tears. Never forgot each other’s birthday. Nothing will be the same. Love you always ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Oh my dear sweet cousin. My heart is broken. We have been close since childhood and I’m just devastated. I will miss talking and laughing hysterically with you. We have such a connection. I will keep you in my heart always and pray for your family that they find peace and comfort ❤️‍🩹🌷

Ron Ritchie was one of the kindest, most caring and generous men, that I had the distinct pleasure to call a friend. Ron was such a positive person. He never met a stranger. He looked for the best in people. He loved his family and was so proud of them. I will always miss and love my brother.

Missing my brother in law and friend. A beautiful person. Sherria and his lovely children will always be in my heart.

It was an absolute honor to have known Ron, and call him my friend. He always had a smile on his face and a fierce hug to give. No light will ever shine as bright as his. To Sherria, and his entire family…I’m thinking of you all during this difficult time and wishing you strength and peace.

RONALD J. RITCHIE – MY MAIN MAN!!!
I am truly shocked and devastated to hear the news of Your Passing. We met @ Cigna Healthcare in Franklin, TN. many years ago and We immediately had a Great Bond. We had a 17 year difference in age – so to me You were a ‘Cool Big Brother’ – dropping some life jewels of knowledge for me to think about. We often talked about my family ties to Los Angeles, CA and You knew the area very well. We spoke about Our Love of ‘Ole Skool’ music – The Friends of Distinction (Grazing In The Grass – Going In Circles) – Bloodstone (We Go A Long Way Back – Go On and Cry) and Funkadelic (Maggot Brain). You Were Cooler Than A Yeti My Brother and I Graciously Appreciate You for being a Friend to me. Our conversations about Your Military Travels, Nicknames and Wonderful Family were always talks that involved lots of Laughter and High Fives.
Your Warm and Infectious Spirit Glowed not only within YOU – but- All Around YOU.
You Are Already Truly Missed. Sincere Prayers and Condolences for Sherria and the rest of Your entire family. God Bless and Rest Your Soul Ron.
Through The Lens Of Love And Gratitude – I Pray You Can Now Spread Your Wings And Fly High – SHINE MY BROTHER AND FLY HIGH. ♥♥♥

The class of 1970 from Verbum Dei High School in Los Angles,California was shocked to hear about the passing of one of our brother. Ron was a standout Baseball player at Verb but he was always laid back level headed person. The time we spent in high school we made a bond for life because we only had 69 students in our Ron will be missed by us we saw him at the last class reunion and had great time not knowing it would be the last time we see Ron much love to you brother Ron and condolences to your family and our love go out to them from your Verb family in LA RIP

My heart truly aches while I write this but it’s instantly replaced by the image of my Uncle Ron’s infectious smile. As a teenager, my first memories of my Uncle Ron was with my Aunt Sheria and my Cousin Robyn(who was a newborn at the time and Cousin Ronnie was waiting in the wings) were them touring me around Los Angeles/Beverly Hills and I didn’t want to ever leave them. It was magical! Since that day, all of my memories of Uncle Ron and the beautiful family that they created will forever be imprinted in my soul. All of my love to “The Entire Ritchie Family” and all of us lucky ones that were blessed to have known such an amazing man.

Our most sincere condolences; we were shocked to hear of Ronnie’s passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Rest In Peace

Love
Cindy
The Lee cousins and families
