Ronald Errol Lett

Ronald Errol Lett, affectionately acknowledged by all   as “Slim”, was the fourth child born to the parentage of Charles and Vila Mae Lett on October 26, 1954.  Linked within a family of Christian believers, he cast his membership with Thompson Chapel AME Zion Church at an early age and was subsequently blessed to receive the sacrament of Holy Baptism under the leadership of Pastor J M Lucas. Slim partnered in vital roles at Thompson Chapel serving as usher, Sunday School participant and expended countless hours providing optimal maintenance services as needed. Ronald’s elementary and secondary education was completed in Fairfield City Schools successfully receiving his high school diploma in 1974.

A Gift of Love and Loyalty to Family

Ester 4:14-For who knows that you are here for such a time as this. (paraphrased)

Ronald lived a life positioned first by his faith in Jesus Christ and an unrelenting commitment to his nuclear family as well as community.  His perseverance and love equipped him with endurance to nurture both parents as well as his brothers during periods of significant health challenges. Those caring attributes are virtues modeled by his entire family.  His affection for neighbors and friends was always a joyful experience as he derived sheer pleasure in transporting relatives as well as neighbors and friends  to requested designations within the city.  His greatest joy was fulfilling requests for groceries and other necessities for senior citizens.           

     “A Joyful Heart is Good Medicine”

There was no greater joy for Ronald than football season. His passion for the Crimson Tide was beyond ecstatic. This passion  was evidenced by Crimson Tide expressions on his vehicles, clothing, jewelry, as well as the entire perimeter of his bedroom. The walls were profoundly adorned with Roll Tide leaving no remaining spaces. All who knew him clearly understood that phone calls or other requests  were off limits when the Tide was playing. His mood was most predictable based on the outcome of each game. When the Tide was victorious he would call and boast for days; however, when they lost, he as well as his phone suddenly became muted.               

“Transition Complete”

When a believer knows God, the transitioning of life is sweet, it is not death but completeness.  Ronald answered the highest call, July 2, 2021; Transition complete!
