He was a very caring and compassionate man by always putting other people first. He volunteered at MHMR of the Concho Valley and handed out candy to the consumers he would visit with; everyone was his friend. He made many friends in Colorado City, Odessa, Monahans and San Angelo by working at the Texas Highway Department, selling gasoline equipment, a convenient store owner, selling cars, and selling real estate. Oh, how he loved selling real estate.
Ron is preceded in death by his parents, Jean and Odis Wise, and Steely Smith. Survivors include his wife Judy Smith, brothers Keith Smith and Kenneth Smith of San Angelo, sister Lynne and John Hill of Colorado City, a favorite cousin Jerry McPherson and Ron’s beloved Hughes family in Florida, son Todd and Sandy Smith of of San Angelo, daughters Shana Smith and Brian Harwell of San Angelo, Mandy Smith and Keith Covey of San Angelo, and special friend Billy Hill of San Angelo, and he is also survived by many nephews, nieces, cousins, his loyal dog, Marcee, and his two miniature donkeys, Lucy and Jenny.
