It is with sorrow and sadness that we inform our readers of the tragic death of RONALD G. LOVE-LADY, gospel preacher of Brea, California. At the time of his passing, Ron was preaching for the church in Placentia, California, which he helped to establish, as well as being engaged in the printing business with his brother, Glen, in Wilmington, California.
Circumstances surrounding his untimely death are as follows: On Saturday evening, April 24, he was cleaning his garage floor with gasoline when something caused the fuel to ignite. He was immediately engulfed in flames, as were his car and garage. By the time he managed to extinguish the flames on his body, by diving into a nearby swimming pool, he had received 3rd degree burns over 86% of his skin surface. From his hospital bed for the next six days he fought valiantly and hopefully for life, but death came about 1:30 P. M. Friday, April 30,1971. Graveside services. attended by hundreds of near and dear loved ones and brethren, were conducted on May 4, at 2:00 P. M. with Bob Melear, of Ventura, California, speaking words of encouragement and hope to the bereaved family and friends. There, in Memory Garden Memorial Park, Brea, California, Ron's body was laid to rest, after but 42 years of life upon the earth.
Survivors include his faithful and loving wife, Geraldine; three sons: Kelsey, Kent and Ronald, all of Brea; one daughter, Mrs. Robin Lynn Woodside, of Oakland; his mother, Lela May Machey, of Bakersfield; two brothers John, of Glendale, and Glen, of Carson; and two sisters: Mrs. Lucille Davenport, of Santa Ana, and Mrs. Martha McCurdy, of San Jose.
To this bereaved family is extended the heartfelt sympathy of the faithful saints everywhere. Yet, we "sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope."
