Patty and family, I was very sad to hear about Ronnie's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. May the love of God and others help you heal at this time.
I have such memories of Ronnie. As my older cousin, I looked up to him and always marveled at joy for life and willingness to take risks. When I look back on some of our times as kids I am amazed that we made it to adults in one piece.
Love to all and enjoy the special memories that you have .

I am very sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. God has promised to, one day soon, eliminate death forever, along with all sickness, pain, and sorrow. (Rev.21:4) He has also promised to reunite us with our loved ones on a restored paradise earth. The Bible says he yearns to do this. (John 5:28,29; Job 14:14,15) I hope these scriptures will bring comfort to each of you.

I remember baling hay with Ronnie during my years in high school at my Dad's farm and his Dad's farm. He usually worked the wagon behind the baler, but sometimes he worked with me and my cousin, Leon, in the hay loft. He loved to wrestle with me and Lee between hay loads (and always won). Ronnie would also pull live "blue racer" snakes out of the hay bales to my amazement. Ronnie was a fearless warrior who loved life and will always be a hero to me. Our deepest sympathy and prayers to all the family.

I have just read all the condolences posted for Ronnie's family and I can't add anything that compares to some of them. Ronnie had a host of friends and will be missed by all of them. My sorrow is that I cannot be with the family to celebrate his life, but know that I am there in spirit and I have spent much time this week in prayer for all of you. God will be with you.

To Patty and Families: my sincerest and heartfelt condolences to all of you at this difficult time. I remember with great delight all of my babysitting jobs with Todd and Hannah when I was in high school! Ronnie always had a smile, always spoke to me at church when I was occasionally home for visits to Mt Sterling. I pray that your faith and the promises of Scripture see you through the difficult days that lie ahead.

Patty and Family, we send our sincere sympathy. To all the Koch family our condolences. Thoughts and Prayers for you all at this time.
I see that smile and the twinkle in the eye in that photo of Ronnie and it brings back so many memories of the times with my cousins. Ronnie was always there when we visited as a child and we had many games we played outside as children. Snow sledding on the hills around the Koch house. The time Ronnie has a hood to a car for a sled. What fun that was and a killer to get back up the snowy hill. We laughed a lot. I remember our time at school and the basketball games. I know he is looking down from heaven on his family and sending his love to all. Thinking of you all. Praying that you feel Gods comfort at this time.

Patty and Family,
The photograph certainly captures the Ronnie I knew from my earliest memories. We used to meet halfway between our homes at the Dunlap Gap and go squirrel hunting on Sunday afternoons with his dog (Rinnie). And, at the countless basketball games at St. Mary's before, during, and after school. Ronnie was a special, wonderful person who touched the many people he met in his life journey. Nancy and I extend our deepest sympathy to you.

Patty, Todd, Hannah, Sarah and families,
I was so sad to hear about Ronnie. I always loved him and have so many pleasant memories. I don't think I ever saw him without a smile on his face and that's a great character to have someone remember you by. I still have a quilt rack that hangs on the wall that he made and I use a dresser he restored for me from Aunt Emily and Gertrude's house. I have thought of him often over the years and will always remember him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all during this time.

Patty and family,
We don't even know where to begin expressing our sorrow. Ronnie was so very special and such a dear friend. His gentle heart, his smiling face, his sincere love that he poured out to everyone, he truly was such an amazing friend. The pain of loosing him for us is so hard, we know the pain that you and the family is going through is unimaginable. We know that words won't help ease that pain but please know we are and always will be here for you. With much love and compassion, from our family to yours. God stand with you all and may he give you the strength to get through this very difficult time. Love, Joe Joannie & Nicholas.

I knew Ronnie as a parent of Todd & Hannah, husband to Patty, member of St. Mary's Church, farmer, member of the Quincy Cursiollio team, and FRIEND to all. Ronnie welcomed me and my wife into the Mt. Sterling community and St. Mary's church with no agenda but Christian LOVE. Ronnie is how home with our Lord asking him to continue blessing his family and community. Ronnie and Patty Koch are two reasons that my wife and I will always recall our brief stay in Mt. Sterling in the mid '80's with such fondness and LOVE. RIP old Friend.

Ronnie was such a good man Never was there a time when I would see him out and about that he did not take the time to speak to me. Often asking questions of my family and bragging of his. He was so kind and he will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss. Heaven welcomed home a beautiful soul. RIP Ronnie
