Ron was a graduate of Ben L. Smith High School. Following school, he went on to proudly serve his country with the United States Army for four years. Ron recently retired from Engineered Control Systems, Inc in Randleman of which he owned and operated. He was also a member of Pleasant Garden Baptist Church. Ron had a passion for fishing. He participated in local bass fishing tournaments and was a volunteer with Operation North State taking veterans out on his boat for a day of fishing.  Ron had other passions as well including coaching baseball with the Pleasant Garden Community Center and restoring midyear corvettes. He was blessed with a generous and caring heart. A man that never met a stranger, he was quick to help those in need. He also had a love for his God as evidenced by the way he lived his life. And Ron loved his family unconditionally being a mentor to his sons and a loving husband to his wife.

Ron is preceded in death by his father, Ronald H. Murphy, Sr.

He is survived by his wife, Maria Murphy; sons, Trey (Toya), Grant and Sean; mother, Carolyn Murphy; brothers, Jeff (Kathy) and Mark (Sabrina); and a host of nieces, nephews, in-laws, and friends that will always miss him.

The family will receive friends immediately following the service in the church fellowship hall.

Ron always had a relaxed and laid-back attitude, so to honor his memory, we ask that your dress attire on Sunday reflect your relationship with him. Keep in mind that his favorite color was green. That might mean a baseball jersey, car t-shirt, fishing shirt, hats, business attire or jeans.
