Ronald Pomeroy
Ronald “Ron” Pomeroy, a cherished husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend, passed away peacefully on Jan. 28, 2025, at the age of 88, at Ohman Family Living at Blossom.
Born on Aug. 22, 1936, in Painesville, Ron was a man whose warmth and humor brought light to every room.
Ron dedicated many years of service to his country and community. After honorably serving in the United States Navy, he returned to civilian life, where he continued to serve others as a dedicated employee of the U.S. Postal Service. Ron’s early years also saw him skillfully wielding a butcher’s knife at Crandall’s Store, in Thompson Township, where his friendly banter became as much a staple as the meats he cut.
He shared a loving life with his spouse, Marion (nee Brown) Pomeroy. Together, they raised a family that came to include their daughter, Carrie Grantham, and son, Scott (Tracy) Pomeroy. Ron’s pride and joy were further multiplied as he welcomed his grandchildren, Perry (Danielle) Pomeroy, Tyler McCord, Rhiannon Pomeroy and Paul Beals, as well as his great-grandchildren, Lola and Josie. The legacy of Ron’s kind spirit, passion for life, and sense of humor will live on through them.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Lawrence and Dorothy Pomeroy; sister, Donna; and son-in-law, John Grantham.
As a lifelong fan, Ron’s enthusiasm for baseball and basketball was infectious. He could often be found cheering on his beloved Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Cavaliers, sharing his love for the game with anyone who’d listen. Win or lose, Ron remained a steadfast supporter, embodying the true spirit of a fan with every play and every game.
Ron Pomeroy’s life was one well-lived, filled with love and an unwavering commitment to his family and friends. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to have known him. As we say goodbye to Ron, we carry forward the light of his spirit, which continues to brighten our lives.
The family would like to thank the friends and caregivers at Ohman Family Living at Blossom Hill for their care, compassion and friendship.
Ron’s family will gather in a private ceremony to honor his memory at a later date.
