Ronald David Squier, II, was preceded in death by his brother, Russell Dean Squier, his mother, Brenda (Castle) Killinger, stepfather, Henry L. Killinger; and grandmother, Annamae (Melvin) Squier. His Uncle William "Jerry" Castle.
At the time of his death he was employed with Simplex Homes as a Floor Framer. He was so excited at the potential future with Simplex Homes. He Loved his job and felt valued by his employer. He was a jack of all trades. He could build a house, paint a house, do all the dry wall and do all the wiring; as well. He could do any task a car would require. He loved learning. He was the artist in the family. Ron enjoyed working out while listening to variety of music but some of his favorites were Kid Rock, Ozzy Osborne, country and heavy metal music. He enjoyed watching movies with his Bose speaker surround sound system. Ron's high energy was felt as soon as he entered the room. That smile of his along with that laugh would light up any room.
He loved all animals but had soft spot for cats. Ronald David Squier, II, was a loving father and a beloved brother. He was caring and kind. Ron was most of all a Christian, but he preferred to attend Southern Baptist Church Service. He Loved the Lord and would always count his blessings.
Ronald David Squier, II was killed when he rushed into a burning orphanage to save a group of adorable children. Or maybe not.
We all know how he liked to tell stories.
We will all miss that grin and that laugh ..
