Ronald L. "Ron" Gallion

July 4, 1958 — October 3, 2024

Norman, OK

Ronald Lee "Ron" Gallion, born on July 4, 1958, in Charleston, South Carolina to John William Gallion and Cynthia Baird. He passed away peacefully on October 3, 2024, in Norman, Oklahoma. He lived a life marked by love, laughter, and a deep commitment to family and friends.

From a young age, Ron embraced the joy of his birthday falling on Independence Day, a love that extended to his passion for fireworks. He was known for his grilling and barbecuing skills, delighting family and friends with meals made from the vegetables he lovingly grew in his garden. A master horticulturist, Ron had a remarkable talent for nurturing plants and created a sanctuary of greenery that reflected his nurturing spirit.

Education was important to Ron, and he instilled this value in those around him. He took on fatherly responsibilities at just 21 years old, raising his family with unwavering dedication while caring for his own father for 15 years. His fierce love for family and friends was matched only by his playful spirit; he was a prankster with a big heart, always ready to bring laughter and joy into any gathering.

Ron had a deep appreciation for music, relishing the sounds of classic rock and classical compositions. A deep thinker, he found solace in the melodies that accompanied his contemplations. In his later years, he discovered comfort in Judaism, which further enriched his life.

Ron will be remembered not only for his passion for life but also for his lasting friendships with a close-knit group of guys who shared decades of camaraderie. He leaves behind a legacy of kindness, warmth, and a garden that will continue to bloom in the hearts of those who knew him.

Ron is survived by his loving daughter, Alicia Gallion, grandson Damion Stenerson, sister, Leslie Peterson and countless friends who will carry his memory forward, cherishing the laughter and love he brought into their lives. He is preceded in death by his parents and siblings.

A celebration of Ron’s life will be held on Friday, October 11, 2024 at 2 p.m. at the Tribute Memorial Care Family Center., where all who knew him are invited to share their stories and honor a truly remarkable man.
