Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Will, Cindy, Sherri & Jo Anne, I am so sorry to hear about Ronnie. I always remember that David and he would call each other on their birthdays since they were so close together. Please know that I will be keeping you all and your families in my prayers. Love to you all.
Ronnie was my brother and all my life he was there to help me when I needed it. As children, we fought and scrapped and told on each other but he was always there if needed. We always found things to laugh about as we grew older and we loved picking at each other. I will miss him terribly and I have another big hole in my heart! Love you always, bro! Jo Anne
Ron Viverette was not only one of the Good Guys – he was one of the BEST! He was a man you could depend on to do the right thing and the kind of friend that you could count on to always be there for you when needed. He had a smile that could light up the darkest times and bring warmth to any chill. The world is a dimmer, lesser place without him. Ron treasured his family and his kids were the center of his world. My love and prayers go to all of them as they deal with this tremendous loss.
God bless this family.
I will miss talking with Ron about basketball, kids and anything else that crossed our minds. His sense of humor, his kindness, his loving attitude to everything but lawyers. I will miss my brother-in-law and my friend. God rest your soul; you were loved by many!
