It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ronald A. Bigda, who departed this life on June 20, 2025, at the age of 82. Born on October 8, 1942, in Palmer, Massachusetts, Ronald was a lifelong resident of this community.

Ronald dedicated his career to the trucking industry, working as a truck driver throughout his life. He started his journey as a truck driver and eventually establishing his own trucking company, RA Bigda Trucking. 

Beyond his professional pursuits, Ronald was a man of many interests. In his younger years, he enjoyed adventures outdoors, including hunting, target shooting, and quadding. His passion for old country music and black and white cowboy movies added joy to his everyday life. Most importantly, he adored his grandchildren; they were his greatest treasures and the lights of his life. 

Ronald is survived by his three children, Ronald J. Bigda, Terri Bigda and Gregg Bigda. He also leaves his six grandchildren which he found immense pleasure in spending time with, Tyler and his wife Laura, Alexa, Madison, Nathan, Michael, and Jordan, cherishing every moment shared with them.  He will also be missed by his loyal dog, Mack.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects during a graveside service on July 3rd at 10:00 AM at Sts Peter & Paul Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Shriners Hospital for Children.
