After graduating from South Oak Cliff High School in 1967, he joined the U.S. Navy in 1968, where he served for 4 years. After his military service, he worked as a contractor in Plano, TX.

He was a pastor for over 25 years; serving at the Jacksonville First Church of the Nazarene in Jacksonville, TX, First Church of the Nazarene in Plano, TX, First Church of the Nazarene in Carthage, TX, and Lookout Valley Church of the Nazarene in Jacksonville, TX.
Ron was a loving and dedicated husband, father, and grandfather. He spent his life caring for his family and friends and he leaves a legacy of love and compassion, which he instilled in his family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Verl and Lora Hart; brother Billy Hart; and sisters, Verlene Pate, Glenda Boyer, Lanell McBride, Gail Meade, and Donna Malone.
