The thing I remember about Ronnie is that he was a wonderful, loving brother and son. He made friends easily and made a difference in the lives of all who knew him including mine. His intelligence,kindness, humor and beautiful smile will be sorely missed. I am thankful for all he did for us in so many ways. He is now enjoying the reward in heaven that he so richly deserves. I will try to follow the example he set until we meet again.
Love,
Yvonne

What I remember about Ronnie is that he always had a big smile on his face! I don’t recall him ever being down or discouraged. He was a great example of how to be joyous all the time, his happiness was infectious and I will miss him until we meet again.

I always remember Ronnie being very friendly with a big smile on his face. He became man of the house at a young age and stepped up to the task of taking care of all his younger brothers and sisters. His dedication to his family didn't stop there and as his mother got older he was always there by her side. He always put his family first and himself last. One would be lucky to have a brother or a son as good as Ronnie. He will be missed.

The first time I met Ronnie was at a party Paul had at his clubhouse. The family was there including his mother. He stayed by her side the entire party and he and his mother radiated such peace/joy to be around everyone. We visited and told old jokes and I think laughed just as much about how old our jokes were as much as the jokes themselves. I’m thankful that he’s not suffering anymore but I know the family is still suffering his loss. I know, Paul, that you got him involved with everything that could help him or reduce his suffering in his last several months. I’m sure he felt the love of that. What a blessing to be around family and friends near the end. What joy to walk towards heaven and see Our God and our loved ones - what joy. Heaven is even more real when so many of our loved ones are there. I pray your family is comforted with memories and the reality of the love we are still here to share. Blessings.

My fondest memory of Ronnie is his example of sacrificial love for his Mother. It's such a blessing to realize he and she are reunited in Heaven in the presence of our Lord and Savior!

My greatest memory of Ronnie is the love and servants heart he demonstrated toward his Savior, his mom and his entire family.
Ronnie set the bar high for all of us as to what it means to love God and love your neighbor. His joy was relentless regardless of the circumstances, his smile was larger than life, and his compassionate care for those closest to him, reached to the sky!
Each time I had the privilege of visiting to minister to him, I was the one ministered to by his great love and compassion.
We celebrate Ronnie’s life - he is no longer suffering but is now in the presence of God forever and in the presence of those he loved and cared for the most.
Until Jesus comes again, see you soon dear brother Ron.
You fought a good fight, you finished well.
Forever in our hearts!
Pastor Mark & Jeanette

I met Ronnie through Paul when we were teenagers. I will always remember Ronnie as a selfless son, brother and friend. He had a sincere interest in people and their well-being. “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 5:8. My deepest condolences to the family. Val Radford

Gary and I got to meet with Paul, Yvonne and Ronnie for dinner and a concert at Stargazers shortly before he went into hospice. We had a wonderful time with them all, and Ronnie was smiling the whole time and said he was really having fun. He seemed so content and happy even though he was in bad health. Ronnie was a great guy and will be missed by so many.

God speed brother Ronnie. I'm so happy you are home with the Lord and out of pain. There are very few men like you in this world. When I first met Ronnie in the early fall of 1982, I was greeted with a huge smile, a warm welcome and a lot of questions. He wanted to know everything about me - my life's story. He was genuinely interested. He seemed impressed with every little accomplishment. He made you feel like you were special even though life's accomplishments were sparce at the age of 24. Over the years, I noticed a pattern in Ronnies life. He was always friendly. I never once saw him get mad. He never made a derogatory remark about anyone. And when we (Paul, me and the rest of the younger Park Hill jokesters) got carried away acting like nincompoops, he would just sit there and smile - slowly shaking his head. He always seemed like the one adult in the room. What really impressed me however, was his humble demeanor. Ronnie was intelligent and well spoken, yet in gatherings, he was often content to sit back and listen to others and revel in what they had to say and what they had done - quick to add his praise and encouragement to their story. He gave up his dreams and hopes to take care of his mom and family members who needed him over the years. He was selfless and never complained, at least in my presence. I was able to catch up with Ronnie during the last few months of his journey home. He still had that smile and laughed easily. Still had an eye for the babes - and noticed when their glance lasted longer than a few seconds. And they loved him - they told me. He was still getting to know the people around him, sick people, making sure that they were doing ok when he came back into the room. He also never gave up on life. I found him one day when he was at the care facility in Castle Rock. Sleeping...with stomach extended - in some pain. He woke up and saw me, his eyes lit up. Having suffered with health issues myself, I know the pain. I Told Ronnie that I wanted to pray for him. I silently asked the Lord to please heal him, and if not, to take him home quickly, no more suffering. I told Ronnie, whatever you want Ronnie, I will pray for it to happen with all my heart. He paused for a long moment, then he looked up and said, "Pray that God makes me better, and in the process I enjoy the ride, so that I can make sure that my dad, my brothers and family are all ok." That tells the whole story of the Ronnie Tienda that I know. Facing eternity and fighting his own critical battle, Ronnie was concerned for the health and happiness of others. Up to his last day! He got his wish!! His alements are healed and he is with his mom helping his brothers and family from heaven. I am so happy for him. Thank you Lord!!
