Ronald Louis "Ronnie" Wallace Jr.

Ronald Louis Wallace, Jr. (Ronnie) entered into eternal life on December 6, 2015 doing what he loved in the mountains of remote Colorado. He was 37 years old. Ronnie is survived by his parents Ronald (Sr.) and Ellan Wallace, his beloved dog Zoei, sister Tiffany Polak, brother Danny Polak, sister Christina Wallace, brother Aaron Wallace, nephew Connor Polak, niece Catherine Polak, grandfather John J. O'Neill, Sr. of Ohio and a countless number of extended family, friends and "Brothers." Above all else, Ronnie was a loyal son, brother, uncle and friend. There is nothing he wouldn't do for those he loved. He was the most genuine spirit, always willing to lend a hand and sacrifice of himself for other's need. His laugh and smile were contagious to everyone he encountered. He was the hardest worker you would ever meet, a truly talented artist of welding and carpentry. His love of adventure was unparalleled and his focus to live his life on his terms without the societal handcuffs of "the matrix" was admirable and "righteous." Ronnie was a proud member of the United States Air Force (1998-2000). Simply put, Ronnie was larger than life and lived that way. Though Ronnie's physical body is no longer with us, his spirit lives on in the lasting memories of our times with him and the impact his life has had on all of us is eternal. Ronnie will be laid to rest in a private service with his family. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the following fund location. Monies will be used to help defray hefty recovery mission costs and allow for donations to be made to local search and rescue organizations that helped our family with this tremendous effort. https://www.gofundme.com/n3hscd6c
