MESSAGES OF CONDOLENCE / DONATIONS

Gerald, Lori, Kyle, Cassie and Justin - March 16, 2020

A good and kind gentleman has passed. A teacher, pastor, church and community choir leader. A person who told endless silly jokes and cherished our children like none other. A person who sat so patiently tutoring his grandchildren and so exuberantly yelling from the stands always being their number one fan. A person who shivered in cold arenas, soccer fields late in the season, went whitewater rafting and crawled over rocks with a broken ankle for an entire weekend just to be with his grand kids. He will always be deeply loved and profoundly missed. Ron Tidy..my Step Dad and our children's adored Grand Dad you made us smile, laugh and sing. Rest in a soulful place knowing you are loved especially by your Grand kids.. Kyle, Cassie, Justin, Emma, Georgia and Megan Parker. RIP Ron xxxooo
