Ronald Gibbs was a devoted servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and a loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, and uncle. He was a great friend to many and a person one could truly count on. He was passionate about his faith and the truth of God's Holy Word the Bible. Ron will be fondly remembered for the love he and his wife Mary Jane shared between them. The love and tender care they had for each other is so rare in today's world. All his children were blessed by the Christian faith he taught and personally modeled, and the blessing that they knew he was always there for them no matter what. His grandchildren will remember him for his love and generosity towards them, and his challenge to stay faithful to Jesus Christ throughout their lives. All of us will remember him for his love of history and the great stories he would like to tell about his family and friends. Ron was known for his strength and athleticism, his love of sports, the excellence in his workmanship, the great integrity he demonstrated, his fondness to debate the issues, and the great pride he had for his children and grandchildren. He was also known to like a cup of coffee or two. We remember with joy when everyone got together with him at Grandma and Grandpa's house on Carson and all the family gatherings throughout the years. We also gladly recall some of the pranks he pulled thorough out the years with his family and friends, and his warm smile. His family and friends will miss him dearly, but look forward to the day when we will see him again in heaven. Ron is survived by his wife Mary Jane; children Sheryl Gibbs, Linda (Paul) Coakley, and Mark (Patty) Gibbs; grandchildren Christopher (Sandra) Gibbs, and Charity Gibbs; siblings Art Gibbs, Alice Oldfield, Becky Shedor, Linda Keeley, Debbie Thompson, and Tim Gibbs. He is preceded in death by his parents Ray and Freda Gibbs, and his sister Gloria Klein. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
