Born and raised Jacksonville, Ron spent many years in Atlanta where he worked in the commercial window cleaning business. Most recently, as the owner of Windows Cleaned, he had many loyal customers in Atlanta, GA and Hilton Head Island, SC. Ron had a love of music and was an accomplished guitar player and even sang in the choir at Calvin Presbyterian Church where he attended for many years. He had a great appreciation for nature and loved being outside and was always willing to share this passion with others. Most of all, Ron loved his family and friends and was fiercely loyal – once a friend, always a friend.
Ron is survived by his mother and step-father, Peggy and Robert English; brothers, Richard A. McDowell and Thomas C. McDowell; step-brothers, Bobby English and Stephen English; and a beloved nephew, Luther Lee McDowell.
He was preceded in death by his father, Luther Harvey McDowell.
