Ronald Macy

Born: 1/27/1938
Died: 7/8/2025
Age: 87
Community: Flint, MI

Ronald Macy, age 87, of Flint, Michigan, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on July 8, 2025. Born January 27, 1938, in Eden, North Carolina, Ron was the beloved son of the late Ernest and Mildred (Dalton) Macy. He spent his early years in Eden before moving with his family to Flint at the age of 15, where he would make his home for the remainder of his life.
On October 24, 1959, Ron married the love of his life, Patricia Macy, and together they shared many years of love and devotion before her passing. He was a man of deep faith, and unwavering love for his family.

One of Ron’s greatest passions in life was music, especially gospel music. He shared his love of the Lord through song, singing for many years with his gospel group, Sons of Song. He also sang regularly at church and took great joy in recording music that touched hearts and lifted spirits. His voice was a blessing to all who heard it. In addition to his love of music, Ron was a loyal Detroit Tigers fan.

Ron is preceded in death by his parents, Ernest and Mildred Macy, and his cherished wife, Patricia.

He is survived by his daughters, Pam (Duncan) Moore of Grand Blanc, Michigan and Susan (Jim) McFadden of Sugar Land, Texas; his bonus daughter, Sheryl (Billy) Selvia; his sister, Kay (Charles) Marchbanks; and his grandchildren, Amber (Nick) Dombrowski, Ashleigh Moore, Erica (Zach) Baxter, and Kendra McFadden. Ron was also blessed with four great-grandchildren: Luke, Presley, Addison, and Aubrey. He leaves behind many dear nieces and nephews who will remember him fondly.

Ron will be remembered for his steadfast faith, his positive outlook on life, sense of humor, and the joy he brought through music. He was a loving Dad, Papa and friend.
