Ronald Edward Haley was born on April 27,1953, in Washington, D.C. He was born to the late Harold and Christine Haley. He peacefully entered eternal rest on October 23, 2024.
Ronald, affectionately known as Ron, grew up in a loving Christian home filled with joy, laughter, music, and family gatherings. He was educated in the DC Public Schools. Ron attended Prince George’s Community college part time for years and transferred to The Catholic University of America where he earned a bachelor’s degree in marketing.
Ron was proud of his two children, Ron and Angelique, and the strong foundation they are providing for their families. They shared Ron’s love for family, reading, history and education. Their memories will keep Ron’s legacy alive in their daily actions.
A strong work ethic developed in Ron during college. Ron was employed by FedEx as a Senior Customer Service Agent from November 1984 until his death. His FedEx family loved and admired Ron’s exemplary work ethic, mild temperament and supportive nature. Ron was energized by hard work and an entrepreneurial mindset, which led to start R&H Hauling and Distribution Services. He worked in partnership with his brothers, Eric, Hillary and brother-in-law, Richard, delivering papers carrying history into the community. (Ron also was one of the distributors of The Georgetowner Newspaper.)
Ron made a meaningful impact in the community serving homeless and unemployed. He was generous and compassionate giving resources and time to anyone in need. He had a way of taking care of any family member going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. He had a passion for buying cars and trucks from the auction and giving them to family and friends.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Harold E. Haley and Christine R. Anderson, his brothers, Jerry and Eric Haley and sister, Holly Haley.

Siblings, Charlene Hamilton (Bobby), Patricia Hawkins (Richard), Phyllis Frazier-Young, Hillary Haley, Lindsey Robinson and brother cousin, Dennis Hall.
