After his honorably discharged from the army, Ronald relocated to Phoenix, AZ with his girlfriend, Anita Williams and their baby girl, Denise Williams where they lived for several years. Ronald later went by his new nickname given by his brother Walter, “cool breeze”. Walter said this name came about because Ronald always had a certain way of doing things, he was always cool and smooth in the way he got it done right till the very end. Ronald was a selfless man who loved spoiling and taking care of his mother calling her every Saturday at 11:00 AM to see how her week had gone and he was always letting her know that “Ludie is a cutie.”

 Ronald was known for being encouraging and showing support to his sister’s, brothers, children, grandkids, nieces’, nephews, and all his family and friends he always tried to see the positive in every situation to help counter the negative that we all face in day-to-day life. He would always say, “if you fail to plan, plan to fail”. Ronald loved and was very proud of his grandchildren, Devanie and Darius Claiborne, he loved spending time with them and enforcing how important education was for their future and going after their dreams. He was very proud of his daughter, Denise for graduating from nursing school and granddaughter, Devanie for graduating from Arizona State University. He also cared for his longtime friend and the mother of their son together, Shirley Coleman and his brother, David who lived with him in Las Vegas. Ronald attended Church of God in Christ in Huntsville, MO as a youth and he made it a point during his time in Phoenix to attend service at his cousin's church “New Jerusalem Baptist Church” with Reverend Thomas Davis.

 Ronald had a personal relationship with God and never strayed from his roots of what his mother and father helped install in him. In his free time he enjoyed following sports writing and authoring a book titled, “Brainwashed by the N-Word”.

 His newest hobby was a video blog that he started on Facebook where he would speak about the process of how to seek and become positive role models as African Americans.
