Ronald Keith McLaren

Ronald Keith McLaren, 66, passed away Saturday, April 30, 2022 at his home in Texas City, Texas.

Born November 4, 1955 in Galveston, Texas. He is the son of the late Charles A. and Dorothy M. McLaren of La Marque, Texas.

Ronnie attended school in La Marque and then served in the U.S. Navy from (1974 to 1976). After the navy, he worked as a sheetmetal worker and later as a lineman and operator for HL&P generating stations at the P.H. Robinson plant in Bacliff, Tx. After leaving P.H. Robinson, he worked for ServiceMaster before opening his own business, M & R Carpet Cleaning and Aerotec Services. He retired when his health started to fail.

He always had a love for music. While in the navy he taught himself how to play the guitar. His love of music and the guitar grew immensely over the years. At one time he wanted to become a luthier, a maker of stringed instruments such as violins and guitars. He loved sharing his guitars and music with anyone who had a similar interest. He loved playing his guitar in our church Praise and Worship team.

Ronnie is survived by his wife, Marilyn McLaren of Texas City, Tx and his sons, Patrick (Samantha) McLaren, Zachary McLaren, Richard Ramirez, III and Robert (Jennifer) Ramirez. 4 grandchildren: Chase McLaren, Abigail McLaren, Mia Ramirez, Aly Ramirez and his Boxer fur baby, Maxie. He is also survived by 3 sisters, Sherry Chang, Barbara (Johnny) Glosson, Janet Saylors and many nieces, nephews and the great nieces and nephew.

At this time, there will not be any service. There will be a Memorial Service at a later date.

It is Ronnie's desire to further the music ministry at church by encouraging and providing for the younger generation to learn music and to play the guitar or any instrument they may have an interest in.
Donations in his name may be made to: The Connection Church, 9300 E.F. Lowry Expressway #222, Texas City, Tx. 77591. 409-933-4820.
