He was born March 11th, 1955, in Marengo, Indiana to the late William Wilson and Mabel (Atkins) Roby of Marengo.
Ronald was a Saw Mill Laborer, and a Lawnmowing Perfectionist. He put more miles on a Murray Lawnmower then most people put on a car. Ronald loved to tinker and fix lawnmowers, mopeds, and small engines, and spend time with his family.

He will be deeply missed.
He is preceded in death by his parents, William Wilson and Mabel Roby, and siblings, Betty, Billy, Donnie Roby and Shirley Hanover. Honorary parents Billie and Thelma VanMetre.
Ronald is survived by his children, Charlotte (Terry) St. Clair, Karen (Boo) Roby, Rhonda Montgomery, Karla (Chuck) Dearborn, Ronald (Mishelle) Roby, Sheila (Brian) Montgomery, Donnie Roby, Martha (Brian) Stonecipher, Brian (Samantha) Roby, Douglas (Britney) Roby, his grandchildren, William (Janessa) Canfield, Bret, Destiny (Chase Lang), Branden, Brylon, Ashton, Kaylee Montgomery ,Brandon, Emmie, Lilly, Billie, Sophia and Alivia Roby, Adrian, Kameron, Aiden, Kaden Stonecipher, Honorary granddaughter Shelly Goldman, his great- grandchildren, Louis, Athena, Maliyah, James Canfield, Mazikeen Spurlock, Miriam Montgomery, Honorary Great-grandchildren Atlas Rodgers, Ryleigh Nicolas, Winnie Wright, Zadynn Southern, and several nieces and nephews.
