Ronald came into this world with his twin by his side, but this final assignment he had to complete alone. Born November 29, 1955, to the late Earnest Newman and Bernice Rodney Newman. Ronald shared an unbreakable bond with his twin from the very beginning, a connection that shaped his life with love, laughter, and understanding. He was also reared with his other 2 brothers and one sister that played an equally important part in his life. Ronald was known for his kind heart, quiet strength, his unwavering dedication to his family and friends, and let us not forget his good cooking and smooth swing out dancing.

From an early age, Ronald accepted Christ in his life and was baptized at First Sixth Street Baptist Church in Port Arthur, Texas.

A two-time organ recipient, Ronald was blessed with the gift of time-time he used to love deeply, laugh often and cherish every moment with those around him. His strength and resilience were an inspiration to everyone who knew him.

He graduated from the illustrious Abraham Lincoln High School home of the Mighty Bumblebee class of 1974. Ronald was very proud of his school and classmates. After graduation, Ronald became employed with the City of Port Arthur as a Maintenance Crew Supervisor his tenure with the city was from April 1976 - April 2006.
