This sucks. I don't even know where to begin but felt like i should share some stories and pictures of Ron. I've known Ron for years. He started jumping at my home DZ in Cleveland. I have hundreds of jumps with him and had the pleasure of teaching him how to fly headdown. Me and my brother used to chase him around filming him and giving him pointers. We met him in FL. every year after he moved. Even after he got way better than me he was too humble to admit it. He'd say "No, your still the man" even though he would fly cleaner and swoop 3 times further than I can. I'm sure gonna miss him. Last Feb. I went to visit him and stayed at his place for a week. Man we had fun. Jumped our asses off and really enjoyed each other's company. He seemed different this time. Like he really matured and became himself in Z-hills. He was really happy there and his true self emerged. He was more friendly and outgoing than ever before. Really fun-loving, easy-going, great guy. As you can tell from people post about him. He kept telling me to move down there with him and we would start a freefly team. I really wanted to and even did some job searching but felt the time wasn't right and maybe I'd go this winter. He was gonna come up to Ohio for our boogie in a couple of weeks and stay at my place. Then we were gonna go to Summerfest straight after that. I was really looking forward to 20 days of jumping with Ron. Then the news came. Yeah, this really sucks.
