A loving husband and the best father, he leaves behind his wife of 23 years, Roberta Lynn Wheeler Keithley of Charlottesville; and their eight children, Jacob, 20, Justin, 18, Rachael, 16, Carmen, 14, Bruce, 12, Brandon, 11, Kimberly, 10 and Mariah, 8.

Ron graduated from Albemarle High School and attended Piedmont Community College. He was a very spiritual, intuitive man, member of the Bahai Faith, a Mr. Fix-it, an inventor, ballroom dancer and above all, "Mr. Mom" who made the best mac-n-cheese of all time! Thoughtful and sensitive, with a quick wit and fabulous sense of humor. Ron's light and love radiated to all who met him.
