Mr. Skelton was born March 13, 1950 in Birmingham, Alabama to Riley Alton Skelton and Mava Dean (Gray) Skelton. Ronald joined the Marine Corp after graduating from high school.

He was always ready and willing to help those in need.  Ron had a unique ability to make anyone laugh even in the most difficult circumstances.  He never left a room without bringing smiles to every ones faces.  He loved and was loyal to his family, very protective and loved spending time with them.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Gary Skelton.  Ron was described by those that knew him as being very kind and friendly, he never knew a stranger. He is survived by sisters Karen Liss and husband Kelly of Wichita Falls, Janice Penhollow of Pike Road Alabama, brothers John Skelton and Mark Skelton of Houston, and many nieces and nephews who adored their "uncle Ron".
