He was preceded in death by his parents, and a brother, Leroy Pruiett.
Ron served his country in the United States Army. He was a lifelong mechanic who could fix anything except a lawn mower. He loved his time as a bus driver for the Greenfield School District and spending time on his farm raising British White Park cattle. He was well known for his sense of humor. Most of all he loved spending time with his family.
His family will host a gathering at a later date.
The Shields-Bishop Funeral Home is assisting the family.
