Ronnie went to work for Patterson's Drilling when he was 18 years old. Starting at the bottom, he quickly worked his way to the position of driller. He loved his work and was loved and respected by his co-workers. Ronnie liked to stay busy! He loved working with his Dad; he loved the lake and floating the Guadalupe River; he loved riding his motorcycle; he loved trucks; he loved working on anything with a motor; and he adored children. Ronnie enjoyed making people laugh and had a winning smile that could brighten the day and melt your heart. He had a heart of gold and was quick to help anyone with anything. Our lives were made richer by him and our lives will forever be changed by this tragedy. He will never be forgotten. (Ref photo of Ronald attached to his obituary)
