Ronald Steele, III

Ronald (Ron) L. Steele, III, passed away Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at the age of 58 after a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). He will be missed greatly by his loving wife, Laurie Moore Steele, children Nicholas Steele and Ronnie Steele (wife Jelena), grandson Aleksandar Steele, step-children Ryley Aaron Moore, Kyle Christopher Moore (wife Melanie), and step-grand-daughter Laila Moore. Ron will also be missed by his siblings Teresa Messer, Denise Johnson, Dee Dee Moradiellos, Wayne Timothy Hrivnak, and their respective spouses, Larry, Michael, Frank, and Heather, as well as siblings Doug Robinson, Ricky Robinson, and Vicki Robinson. Uncle Ron will also be missed by his nephews and nieces, David Lee, Sean Messer, Stephen Moradiellos, Nicole Moradiellos, Justin Ford, Angelina Hrivnak, and Vance Hrivnak. Ron will also be missed by many other extended family, friends, and cats, Rusty and Dusty. Ron was born in Saint Petersburg, Florida on October 6, 1962. Ron most recently worked in the medical field delivering medical equipment where it was needed. For those that knew Ron, they knew his heart was so loving, tender, and sensitive, and these are all qualities that led him to his profession and to the love of his life, Laurie. He was very passionate about dragons and felt a strong connection with them. It is said that dragons are a reminder of strength, courage and fortitude, qualities Ron displayed especially during his battle with ALS. Some of Ron's favorite past times included enjoying home cooked BBQ, listening to southern rock music, and enjoying time with his wife and family. He was preceded in death by his dad, Andy Hrivnak, his biological father, Ronald L. Steele, Jr., his brother, Andy Hrivnak, and his cat, Miss Sage. The family would like to thank their family and friends for all their support. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Florida ALS chapter. Laurie’s Letter: Ronald L. Steele, III, my loving husband, was my soul mate, my best friend, the one true and only love of my life. He treated me with such love every day over the 10 years we were blessed to have each other. He made me feel completely cherished, loved, adored, and safe every day we were together. He was the most wonderfully, caring, loving, sensitive, and unselfish man I've ever known. His soul and spirit shined every day. I am and will forever be blessed to have had this beautiful man as my husband, and I was so privileged to be able to be his loving, adoring caregiver until he could fight no longer and left this painful existence. Ron will forever be my hero, he was so strong, he fought so hard. Ron will forever be my soul mate, my best friend, and the love of my life. I love you Ron Steele and I can't wait to be with you again one day in Heaven. Please walk, run, laugh, smile, talk in Heaven and forever watch over me. Goodbye for now my sweet love. Forever, your loving, adoring, wife, Laurie (Lorelei)
