Ronald Gene Ellis Obituary (1951 - 2023)

Ronald Gene Ellis, 72, of Conroe, Texas, was peacefully called home to be with his family and the Lord on June 7, 2023. He was born to Ora Jane (Brock) and Richard Hallford Ellis, on April 18, 1951, in Huntsville, Texas. A man of various passions, he served his country in the Navy, worked as a welder at Sparkler Filters, and ended his career path doing work he found fulfillment in: comforting and serving others as a hospice chaplin at Heart to Heart. Ronnie is survived by his former wife, Janet, whom he married March 3, 1980, and loved until his death despite their divorce on December 19, 2007; children, Brenda McCloskey and husband Rob, and Kimmi Sparks and husband Patrick; his grandchildren, Amber, Dustin, Aryan, and Aiden; great-grandchild, Declan; as well as a host of extended family members. He is predeceased by his parents, beloved brother, Richard Lee (Ricky), and cherished grandson, Michael (Yopi) Lukas. He was a man who never met a stranger. Whether you met him on the street, in a store, in a church, in a hospital, or during his prison ministry work, you would walk away with a smile on your face, knowing a little bit more about what he loved most: history, his family, and the Lord. Memorial services will be held on Friday, June 16 th , from 1-3, at the Crighton Meetinghouse, 2495 Ed Kharbat Drive, Conroe TX 77301.
