Ronald Lee Goff

Captain Ronald Lee Goff, born August 28, 1950 in Parkersburg, WV to Ersel David and Vivian Hardman Goff, passed away peacefully on November 25, with his partner Nan and son Tyler by his side. Over his 69 years, Ron bore many names: Ronnie, Ron, Cpt. Ron, honey, and Dad. In his career, Ron was a soldier in the Ohio National Guard, an intelligence officer, and a security professional. In his personal life, he was a patriot and committed family man.

Ron had several passions. He was a steadfast conservative. He cherished a lifetime of loyal feline companions. He loved photography and shared the passion with his son. But most of all, Ron adored television and cinema. He loved classics from his youth: Ben Hur and The Vikings; he loved horror, both classics and B movies; he loved spy and war stories. If you're reading this, take a buddy to the theater and enjoy a flick for Ron! He'd like that.

Ron is survived by his loyal partner Nan, son Tyler, sister Cincy, and some very beloved cousins in West Virginia.
