Age 69, of Chicken Hill, on Sunday, August 11, 2024. Beloved son of Elsie M. (Arguto) Ciotti and the late Irvin Ciotti. Loving father of Rena (Fred Kim) Ciotti and Ronald (Erin) Ciotti. Grandfather of Gabriella Kim, Christian Kim, Nico Ciotti, Finley Kim, Vance Ciotti, Mila Ciotti. Brother of Diane (Robert) Conti and Robert (Judy) Ciotti.
Ron's happy place was being with his family and friends. He loved being outdoors. He spent his time fishing, hunting, and running heavy equipment. He loved playing bocce with his brother, cousins, and friends. He was a foodie and an excellent cook. He loved singing and had a great voice. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy. He was often found on the floor wrestling and playing games with the little ones. He was a happy, loving person, always laughing, and smiling. Ron was a wonderful and devoted friend. He was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Ron was very proud of his Italian heritage and his roots. To him there was nothing better than growing up on "Chicken Hill," surrounded by his family and cousins who were his lifelong best friends. He was especially full of love for his family and ended every conversation with "I love you and give the kids a big kiss for me."
