Can’t begin to explain what he mean’t to our family. He was a perfect role model to all the children, grand and great grandchildren of this large extended family. He was so many things in his life, artist, drawing &
painting, wood working, loved music. One time volunteer paramedic, full time devoted father, grand & greatgrandfather. Loving caring big brother, just a good man. We will cherish the memories of Ron, from the oldest to the youngest members of the Cannon and Mitchell family. Condolences to our sister Diana and his immediate family. May God hold you all in His loving arms…🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😢

This was a huge loss to our family. He was a loving, funny man who will be missed. He was my brother in law but loved like my brother. I’m glad he is not suffering anymore.

My thoughts and prayers are with you family for the loss of uncle Ron. He will certainly be reminisced over his art work and painting of my beautiful wife Jessica. A wonderful hostess in hospitality whenever we visited DE or Jersey on family vacations. I’ll reminisce over the time he showed me what a gentleman’s handshake was supposed to feel like. (Firm) Truly a stand-up gentleman and uncle by far of any such. Thank you for the memories!

Our thoughts, prayers and love go out to the Mitchell family. Ron was kind, thoughtful and funny. He gave up many, many of his Saturdays to allow our group of crafters to meet at Cornerstone Senior Center to scrapbook, card making, diamond art
and fellowship. He also planned some fun outings for our grandchildren over the years. May God bless you and keep you in his loving arms.
