My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of grief.
We are so sorry for your loss! All the family is in our thoughts and prayers!
Our thoughts and prayers go to the family in their time of need. This may be a time of sadness but also it’s a time of celebration because he is now walking with our Lord and Savior in Heaven. I will always remember our conversations over the years and especially the last time I spoke with Roney the Sunday at church before. He will be missed by our church and his Friends.
Ginny, Our thoughts and Prayers are with you!
I pray that you find peace during this time and cherish the memories that you and Roney have made!

Brenda, we are so sorry to hear of the passing of your brother. He was a great person. Keeping you and the entire family in prayer.
Prayers for the family. What a beautiful soul this man was. He lived across the street from us for over a decade. Best neighbor we ever had. He and his late wife Kat adopted us. Fed my husband when I didn’t cook. Saved me from a snake in my water hose reel. Stayed by my side for hours until my husband could get home from out of town when I came home and found my beloved dog dead. Kat cleaned up everything and Roney was just Roney. All comfort, care and understanding. I remember him and his little red pickup truck riding around with their dog, Lady. She would just turn around and bite him for no reason. She was a holy terror but he tolerated her for Kat. He was always in a good mood, happy, telling jokes, laughing and making us laugh. Our family loved him dearly. Roney, you will be greatly missed but we know we will see you on the other side.
To the Perry Family, you are in my prayers and thoughts during this unexpected time of sadness and family loss. Ronnie was a good man, a friend to many and loved by all. Keep the good memories of Ronnie in your hearts and minds to help you through the days ahead without him.
Brenda…….so very sorry to hear of the death of your dear brother, Roney😱😱😢😢We had a few fun times in high school, and every time I saw him he was always so sweet and kind!! A big flirt but back in the days that’s why every girl loved him. I know he will surely be missed by you and everyone that knew him. May God bless him and you and your family during such a sad time!! Love and Prayers especially to you, Brenda❤️. Love you always, Bonnie
