Ronald R. Rhodes

Posted

Ronald R. Rhodes passed away on December 15th, 2024, in Fountain Hills, AZ following a courageous 12-year battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Born on January 20th, 1948, in Detroit, Michigan to Clayton and Virginia Rhodes, Ron spent much of his childhood in Louisville, Kentucky. He graduated from Bellarmine University paving the way for a successful career at Motorola where he dedicated 25 years of service and retired as Vice President of Global Supply Chain.
Rons greatest joy was spending time with his family and friends often attending sporting events together. A passionate sports enthusiast, he loved watching football, basketball, baseball and soccer. His most treasured memories were made on the sidelines, both coaching and proudly watching his son, Chris, excel on the field.
He was preceded in death by his parents and his beloved wife, Patricia. Ron is survived by his son, Chris (Jeneal) Rhodes, his grandson, Clayton and his brother Warren (Donna) Rhodes as well as many friends.
Ron will be remembered for his dedication to his career, his love for his family and his perseverance in all things. He leaves behind a legacy that will live on in all the hearts who knew him.
In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research. www.michaeljfox.org
A Celebration of Life for Ron will be held January 25th, 2025 at 6038 E. Nisbet Rd Scottsdale, AZ 85254 from 1-3pm.
