Ronnie was always an enthusiastic, respectful young man. My memories of him are few and fond. It's tragic that this war has taken yet another life from this country, with little justification.

NeverWillIForgetYou :[

I will never forget you! Thank you for everything you did for my husband! I am forever grateful to have known you!

You touched so many lives with your beautiful smile, always putting others before yourself even in high school you would make it your goal to get others to smile. We will never forget you, please watch over all of us! We love and miss you!

Ronnie, my best friend, i will forever be thankful for Justin introducing you to me. From the moment we met i felt so close to you, you became my best friend so fast and i enhoyed every memory i have with you. I remember the first time i talked to you was outside of school, when your mom drove me you and justin to homecoming sophomore year. the whole ride i couldnt stop laughing and from then on we clicked. There were so many times i wanted punch you for the things you did, your crazy ass ideas, and then there were others where i just wanted to hug you and you would fix all my problems. I called you my brother because thats the way i saw you. I knew you always had my back and if i needed you you would be there in a heartbeat. I remember the first basketball game i went to at alta loma with you, and bugged you the whole time for you to explain what the hell was going on, you just laughed at me and said, "ashlee you really need to get with the sport of basketball you dont know what you are missing out on." i thought you were crazy! you the only boy my dad ever trusted me going anywhere with. ronnie i miss you so much and it hurts that you are gone, ive lost my best friend. but please know that i am here for vanessa every step. ive been taking care of her and i wont stop until the end. it kills me to see her the way she is, but its cause she loves you so much, you guys had so many plans together. Please watch over all of us. we need you! i love you ronnie!

Im going to miss you so much cousin. i wish we could have got to hang out like we used to back in the day. me and you and danny ray. im sure you remember. i love you with all my heart. you are a TRUE AMERICAN HERO! I WILL NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ALL OF US!

Ok ronnie so I was driving home, well to vanessas this morning and I was thinking of so many memories we shared together. Remember when you came and rescued me from the table at kingsball. Ugh I didn't wanna sit there anymore and not be dancing so I looked at you and right then you texted me and said what's wrong why aren't you out here dancing and I texted you back and said save me... haha next thing I know you come to the table and you tell my date hey I'm gonna borrow her for awhile lol so we went out and danced and you said now you owe me big time I just smiled at you and said ok sounds like a deal... I used to love when you smiled and laughed you made my day even when I was having the worst day ever. Ronnie I miss you so much you truly were my brother and idk how life is going to be now. We go to your flag every night and I just sit there and your face just pops in my head as I stare at the candles. Memories flood through my head and they don't stop. I was really looking forward to you coming home the cabin trip was going to be so much fun. Ronnie please be here for vanessa she needs you and is lost without you. I'm trying to do my best to be strong and be by her side but at times its difficult because I hate seeing her like this. She needs to one person she truly loved with all her mind body and soul. Please just comfort her heart and somehow let her know that you are there with her. She needs to feel your presence and your love in her heart. Ronnie continue to watch over us and keep us strong. I love you and miss you best friend.

even though i did not know him personally he has given the ultimate sacrifice. and for that i would like to say thanks fellow service member and Rancho Cucamongan.

Ronnie, Thank you. To Brenda and family, you are in my daily thoughts and prayers. Ronnie was a wonderful friend and I thank God for having him in my life. As I enter the military he will forever be on my mind.

I love you brother, I'll never forget you!

Dearest Ronnie,

You are truly a hero to me and to all of us. You fought a war and it took your young soul! The pain and sorrow is more than anyone can bare… but you a proud soldier fought without any hesitation! We as Americans should be proud of you and many like you that have laid down their lives to give us the peace and hope for our future....

You now sit at side of God as many family members who have gone before you… I know you were not alone when God open his doors to you… Your family and friends were there to greet you… You now have no worries and are free to smile upon us...

You’re Mom, dad, step-dad, grandparents, brothers, sisters and the rest of the family will always have emptiness in their hearts… We will all miss you… May you lay in peace in the palms of Gods hands…. We love you…

“YOU ARE OUR HERO"

RIP Ronnie. You will always be remembered!
Thank you for serving our country!

Much Love and respect, god bless you all.

I don't even know you Ronnie but I've been reading about you in the local newspaper and I can't get you or your family out of my mind. I am humbled by your gift you & your family gave to Our Country and I feel to me personally. No words will ever convey how grateful I am to you & your family. So I will pray for you & your family and hope God's love will comfort your family and that you are looking down at them with all the love I know you had inside you for them and your Country. God Bless Mrs. Rochelle Howell

Ronnie, I am finally coming to terms with the fact that this is real. Thank you so much for being Ronnie. Your friendship really touched me. I could never forget you.

Thank you first of all, for being a real man. Thank you for believing in yourself and in this country. Thank you for being my son's friend, brother and most of all, thank you for your service. Cruz's father.

your amazing<33
R.I.P Ronnie:(

I stumbled upon this feature on the LA time site, though I don't know this soldier. I thanks him and his family for his service to our country, I'm so sorry for the loss. He's a hero in my book!

Ronnie,I married your aunt before you were even born and for the last 20 years I saw you grow up into a strong and confident young man, I was very proud of you when I was told you were going into the military, I often told my wife what a great kid I thought you were but I beleive you were a much greater man and soldier, I will always remember you and be proud of you and the sacrifice you made for my family,
I'll see you in heaven nephew. love uncle Dave.

I just found out this week about the death of my former neighbor's son and grandson, the little boy I remember who had such a warm and genuine smile, who smiled at everything. Little Ronnie, you were such an angel as a child who grew into a fine young man. Your grandparents I know held you up in the love of the Lord Jesus, in whose arms you will be forever.

I've been thinking about you a lot lately. All the memories we had will always be in my heart. You were truly one of a kind. Our writing is what bonded us the most. I remember how you use to joke about how you were the Edgar Allan Poe to my Robert Frost. I miss you so much. Each day is just like the last... The pain of losing you still lingers and it always will. Soar up high buddy! I miss you Ronnie. RIP ... TRUE AMERICAN HERO! <3

We all miss you... you brought something to 57th that cannot be replaced. You will never be forgotten in our hearts or our memories.

We will always love you and remember you as a true American Hero. It is truly an honor and a privledge to have had you in our lives. We will never forget what you did for us and this Country.

Thank you Ronnie!

Marce & Tyler

Can't believe it's going on 1 year that you've been gone. How time has gone by. There's not a day someone don't ask me who you are. Your dog tags are a reminder of a true hero. You are missed by many people you've touched many life's people you never got to meat. I'm very proud to call you my family
.Angel asked mom why did he have to die? He was very saddened by your passing
I had no words for him I told him you were his angel now! And god needed you. You are missed and loved by many. You are an American hero!

I want to thank you and your family for your service to our country. I wish I did not have to see your name like this in order to thank you.

God bless you and your family.

Ronnie boo! Its a whole year since you've been gone and it hasnt gotten any easier.
I think back to ur crazy days in high school and in Mr. Lopez class, you made that class so much fun with your jokes and your heart! <3
Ronnie I miss you greatly!
