Oh my gosh, my grandparents on Yale Street lived across the street from the Kindred home. I remember running down to the Kindred house on occasion. There is only five years between me and Ronnie and for some reason, I always thought I was so much older than him. This is a loss for sure – too early for him to be leaving. When I think of lil Ronnie Kindred, I think of tall and strong. He didn’t have to say a lot, but I guess I sensed safeness whenever I knew he was around. Rest in peace little buddy and to his families – know he was cared for by many of us. ❤️🩹

Our deepest sympathy to Kathy, Maria and the family on the passing of Ron. Ron was always smiling when we saw him. Just a short while ago we ran into Kathy and Ron out to lunch in Helena, they were enjoying a little getaway for lunch and shopping and their happiness together will always be in our memories.
God bless Ron and the family during this difficult time. We send all our love, prayers and sympathy. Carrie and Bob
