Ronald Nolan, Sr.

RONALD LEE NOLAN, SR., 72, a special angel, was called to Heaven on Christmas Day while surrounded by his family.

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Ronnie was born in Port Arthur, Texas, on October 25, 1943, to Doyle Leemon and Minnie Mae Nolan who preceded him in death.
