March 21, 1958 �" May 28, 2010
Ron was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and moved to California in 1988. Ron was the bar manager at The Deco Lounge for the past two years. He had been in the bar business since he moved to San Francisco, having worked at the Rendevous, Tango Tango, Kimo's and a few other bars over the years. At each place he worked, his friends grew and followed.
Ron also held the title of Royal Daddy in San Francisco for the past two years. Ron always lived his life to the fullest. He enjoyed each small moment and he made the best of life. He was always there with a helping hand for more people then one can count. He was one of a kind and one that can never be replaced.
Ron left us much too soon. We will miss him because his heart was always so big, because the spot he touched in our hearts can't be touched again.
Ron leaves behind his best friend Mark Manz and his husband Ryan, his daughter Roxann Rios of Adams, WI, his brother Steve Rios of Milwaukee, along with many, many loving friends.
A celebration of Ron's life will be held at the Deco Lounge, 510 Larkin Street, on Sunday, June 20 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. For more information, please contact Mark at [email protected]
