November 23, 1966 �" August 14, 2016
Ronald Michael Zehel, 49, born November 23, 1966 in Lorain, Ohio, passed away August 14, 2016. He resided in Palm Springs at the time of his passing. The San Francisco leather community will no doubt remember Ron as the winner of the Mr. Drummer competition in 1988. He became a tireless fundraiser for HIV/AIDS causes. He was the kind of guy who became part of the lives of everyone who new him, always offering a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Ron was a remarkable man, not only for his handsome good looks, but also his passion for the leather community and helping his brothers in need. My sincere condolences at the passing of this very special man.
