Ronald Wilhelm Jr.

Wilhelm

Ronald Lee Wilhelm Jr., 46, died Oct. 3, 2022, at his home in Rimersburg.

Ronald was born March 2, 1976, in New Kensington, to Ronald and Lisa Wilhelm.

Ronald, also known as Ronjo to close family and friends, graduated from Moniteau High School in West Sunbury.

Shortly after high school, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy.

After his service in the Navy, he worked many years in the construction field. He loved seeing his workmanship come to life, and enjoyed the fact that every day was something new.

Ronjo loved people. He was always happy to share his stories and give his take on life with anyone who would listen. He could tell such colorful stories — it was fun listening to him.

He will be sorely missed by friends and family — gone but not forgotten.

Ronald is survived by his mother, Lisa A Wilhelm of Petrolia; his brother, Robert Wilhelm of Petrolia; and his sister, Alexis (Timothy) Sutton of Butler.

He also left behind three nephews Evan, Ian and Aiden; and his niece, Kalyn.

He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald Lee Wilhelm Sr., who passed on Oct. 2, 2005.

WILHELM — A celebration of life for Ronald Lee Wilhelm Jr., who died Monday, Oct. 3, 2022, will be planned in the near future.
