We are sad to announce the passing of Ronald Van Jr, who left this world on October 20, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona. Born on June 12, 1975, Ronald was the beloved son of Ronald Van Sr and Gearlene Manning.

Ronald leaves behind a legacy of laughter and love, as well as one sister Shacoisha Dawkins along with his four children, Tanisha, Dezerah, Malaisha and Tiffany Van. He also leaves behind two adoring grandchildren, and five nieces and nephews.

In his free time, Ronald enjoyed fishing, listening to music, and playing basketball. He brought joy and humor to all who knew him, and his witty one-liners will be sorely missed.

Although Ronald's time with us was short, we take comfort in knowing that he is now at peace, likely causing havoc and making everyone laugh wherever he may be. Rest in peace, Ronald Van Jr. You will be forever missed and never forgotten.
