Ronald B. Benedict

Ronald B. Benedict passed away on May 2nd 2022 at the age of 75 in Ocala Florida. He was a Vietnam veteran who was proud to have served his country and was awarded two bronze stars and a Purple Heart for his Valor. On his return from Vietnam, Ron became a truck driver and it was a career that he loved for over 45 years. He was able to combine his passion for racing and truck driving and was a member of the Great American Truck Racing Series, #32 from 1979 till 1993. Though a man of few words he had a sense of humor. After telling a dumb joke he would then say "I'll be here all day". Ron went peacefully and has joined his parents Harold and Neva, his brother Doug, his sister Patricia and his Chrissy dog in heaven. You will be missed by all who loved you and called you friend.

Ron will be laid to rest with his parents at North Ridge Cemetery at a later date.
