Ronald Lee HAYES

January 1, 1955 - December 20, 2019

Ronald Lee Hayes, age 64, of Woodson Terrace, MO., succumbed to his illness on Friday, Dec. 20, 2019 at Delmar Gardens of O’Fallon surrounded by his family. He was born Jan. 1, 1955 in Jefferson City, Missouri, to the late Omar William Hayes and Mary Ann Hayes (Nilges). Ron is survived by seven brothers and sisters, David, Carol (Robert) Krause, Roger (Debbie), Beverly (Mark) Preston, Barbara (Scott) McCarthy, Brenda (Kevin) Riddle, Christina Pulliam. He was preceded in death by two siblings, Richard Hayes and Cathy Wohldmann. He also leaves behind several aunts and uncles and numerous nieces and nephews and a special friend Moni. Ron was employed by Chrysler Corporation for 30 years until his retirement. Ron loved fast cars and sports but especially his two muscle cars which he enjoyed taking to car shows. Ron couldn’t play sports because of his health but it didn’t stop him from cheering on his Cards and Blues from his favorite seat in the house. Anyone who knew Ron knows of his love for animals. He took in any stray cat or dog that happened his way. His last dog Jack came from the local Walmart dumpster and was Ron’s pal to the end. So to that end, those wishing to honor his memory may make a memorial donation to the Humane Society of Missouri. There are no services planned. A private family burial will be planned at a later date.
