I am so sorry to hear about Ron.  For years Ron came to CWHS and provided an excellent presentation about Organ donation to our health classes.  He was a wonderful man and I enjoyed getting to know him.  When we could have our own conversations during down time, Ron was always so proud to talk about his family and our Buckeyes.  Prayers for Ron´s family and the Lifeline of Ohio family.  

Ron was such a wonderful educator and ambassador for Lifeline of Ohio. Ron spoke to my health classes every year and I am sure his lessons have changed lives. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and your family’s loss. 

Dear Ron, Carole & family,
So sorry to hear of your son's passing. May peace surround you during this difficult time. Keeping you in our thoughts.
Respectfully, Bob & Becky (Clum) Rosier

Sending prayers and love to all of you for your loss. Remembering times when the ten of us would get together.

I was so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. The Packard family has always held a special place in my heart. I'm also sorry that I was unable to attend the visitation. Please know that the whole family is in my heart and prayers. May God give you all the comfort, peace, hope, and love only He can provide!

Dear Packard Family,
 I went to school with Ron and have many happy memories, especially the ones of us in marching band and riding around in the station wagon he used to drive. My deepest sympathies. 

Packard Family,
My sincerest condolences to you and all of Ron's family and friends.  Ron was such a caring, cheery, knowledgeable, and kind person and it was my pleasure to work with him for so many years at Lifeline of Ohio.  His impact as an educator has made a strong ripple effect in the donation community and he will be mourned by many.  I would like to send you peace and comfort in the coming days, weeks, and years.  I hope you take comfort in knowing how much he loved and how many people loved him.  Ron will never be forgotten in the hearts of those who knew him.

May Gods's love warm your heart and bring you peace.  Prayers for you & family.  Julia Hritz Mathias

I was fortunate enough to work at LOOP with Ron and we even shared an office for several years. His gratitude to his 2 donors for giving him the chance to live his life with Alicia, James and Joy was always his favorite message to share as a community  educator.  We shared in so many memories of trying to promote organ donation and there is no doubt that Ron’s dedication to the cause has resulted in many more lives being saved through donation and transplantation. I will forever be grateful that I had the honor of knowing Ron. My prayers and love to all of Ron’s family whose hearts are hurting. Wishing I could be there to celebrate his life in person, but keeping you close in my prayers.  Love, Brianna

Very sorry to learn of Ron's passing and sending my condolences to his family and friends. I had the honor of working with Ron when he was the community educator at Lifeline of Ohio and I was the outreach coordinator for the Central Ohio Lions Eye Bank. Ron's passion for donation was fueled by his personal experience as a transplant recipient and his advocacy helped many others.

OUR CONDOLENCES TO ALL OF RONALD J. PACKARD JR.'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

Dear Ron, Carol, Alicia and kids-
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the privilege of working with Ron at Lifeline of Ohio, most notably with the Dash for Donation. He would be the first one there with me to set up and to prepare for the thousands who would come to share their connections. The Donor “wall of remembrance” was so important to him. 
Ron’s passion for helping those on the transplant list came through in everything he did. He was so grateful for his full life—especially being a husband and father. 
Thanks be to God for his service and know that his legacy lives on through the transplant recipients who benefited from his efforts. 
Terri Louder
Lifeline of Ohio Volunteer and Event Coordinator (2008-2013)

To Alicia and family. I'm sorry for your loss and will continue to pray for you and your family. Kim Johnson, Ohio
