A life well lived, a love deeply given.

Ronald Lee Paris, born February 27, 1951, passed away on June 23, 2026.

Ronald was the definition of a hardworking man—strong, selfless, and unwavering. He never complained, never asked for anything, and gave his whole heart to his family every single day. He was the rock of his family, the steady presence that held everyone together, and the kind of man whose love was felt deeply and will be missed forever.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sandie Paris; his daughters, Anniesa Paris and Michelle Fletcher; his son-in-law Sammy Jackson; Michelle’s husband, Robin Fletcher; nieces Rosanne Mayone Montee, Michelle Mayone; his brother, Gary Don Paris and wife Karen; and his sisters, Linda Branch, Teresa VanZandt, Beth Pratt, Sandra Hanks, and Jan Fox. Along with many nieces and nephews.

He is also survived by his cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Tristen Fletcher and wife Kaylan, great-grandchild Grady Tate; Devyn Sauceda and husband Ben, great-grandchild Ledger Hayze, McKenzye Wyatt and boyfriend Carter Chandler, Havyn Fletcher and Stone Fletcher.

He also held a special place in his heart for his two special nieces; Rosanne Mayone Montee and “Big” Michelle Mayone. Loving them as his own and taking pride in being their Uncle Ronnie, meant everything to him. The memories we share words do not express the joy you both brought into his heart.

Cherished Memories

Some of the most treasured memories were the everyday moments—stopping at the gas station in Lorena where he would throw dice for lunch money and a cold Dr. Pepper before taking the kids to school, or Christmas mornings spent watching Christmas Vacation, where his laughter filled the room as if it were the first time.

He never wasted a day, waking up at 5 a.m. and making the absolute best of every day. Ronald had an energy about him that was truly infectious. He was always smiling, always laughing, and he touched the hearts of many.

Our hearts are completely broken. Him being gone is half our hearts. We were the luckiest girls to call him Daddy. He was our rock, our strength, and our greatest blessing. We will forever be proud that he was ours.

Daddy, we will miss you so much. Thank you for always being you, for everything you taught us, and for always taking the time to just be our Daddy. You were the best Daddy, and we love you more than words can ever say.

Acknowledgment

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude for the love, prayers, and support shown during this difficult time. Your kindness has brought comfort beyond words and will never be forgotten.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the life of Ronald Lee Paris and the love he shared with all who knew him. We ask that You wrap Your arms around his family and bring them peace, strength, and comfort in the days ahead. May his memory live on in their hearts, and may Your light guide them through their grief. We trust that he is now in Your presence, whole and at peace. Amen.
