Ronald’s formative years were spent attending the Birmingham Public Schools.  He graduated from A.H. Parker High School. He also received a certificate in Building Maintenance from the Alabama State Department of Vocational Education.  He confessed his belief in Christ at an early age and united with the First Baptist Church, East Thomas.   He then joined the First Memorial.  He later united with the St. James Baptist Church, East Lake under the leadership of Reverend G.W. Blutcher, where he later became a deacon and trustee under the leadership of Reverend John Dansby. Ronald was employed by the University of Alabama at Birmingham in Minor Construction and retired in 2005 due to health issues. Ronald was also an avid worshiper and loved to sing.
