Ronald J. McClure 1963-2025

Ronald was born Sept. 15, 1963, in Youngstown, to Marilynn McClure. Ronald resided in Hubbard, his hometown, before moving to Niles.

Ronald, a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother and uncle, had love for his family that knew no bounds. With a career as a local semi-truck driver who knew the roads like the back of his hand, Ronald’s humble ambition was always to begin and end his days with the sweet sounds of being home with his family.

Ronald loved hunting and fishing, and just being in nature. Embracing all of life’s beauty was Ronald’s key to fulfillment. He loved creating memories while taking rides with his wife to Lake Milton, Mosquito Lake and driving wherever the road led them — which always included getting a bite to eat.

He is survived by Kathy McClure, his loving wife of 42 years, whom he always called “Kay” or “Pretty Lady,” whom he married Nov. 8, 1982. He is also survived by his son, Ronald (Sophia) McClure; daughter, Megan (Jesse) McClure; stepdaughters, Connie (Justin) Malaska, Sheri (Henry) Foraker, Kristine Egry and Rebecca (James) Cayten. In addition, he and Kathy raised their grandson, Camron Mayfield.

He is survived by his mother, Marilynn Johnston; brother, Chester Johnston; and sister, Susan (David) Day; along with 14 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren; and his nieces, nephews, an aunt, uncle and in-laws.

Ronald was preceded in death by his stepdaughter, Heather Dunlap; grandparents, Ed and Esther Semararo; aunt, Jackie Tarr; and great-granddaughter, Juniper Judice.

Ronald will be greatly missed by all who loved and knew him.
