He was born February 28, 1942 in Pearl, Illinois to Martha Susan (Holloway) and Robert Coleman Edwards. Ron has always been a member of the Church of Christ. This has been a lasting legacy through his grandchildren. He has been known by those closest to him as a big teddy bear with warm hugs. His laugh was contagious and shook his tummy like a bowl full of jelly. Ron attended the U of I & SIUE majoring in accounting and business. He was a public accountant for many years along with owning a full line insurance agency. Later in life he received his degree from Sunset School of Preaching in Lubbock, TX and began his career in preaching at Henderson, NV; Chandler, OK; and Blvd church of Christ in OKC. In 2005, he moved to Piedmont with his wife Faye, to be near his family. Ron was instrumental in starting Soldier Creek church of Christ where he served as an elder and teacher until his passing. He leaves behind his family, friends, and church. With his influence, he helped change countless lives.
