In 1984, Ronnie would take over the family business, Dyson Plumbing and manage it alongside his younger brother, Randy Dyson. A firm believer, Ronnie also understood the importance of enjoying life. His mind was at ease and his heart full whenever he was on the water. Ronnie became an avid saltwater fisherman (Bull redfish being his favorite catch), a licensed boat captain he would share his fishing knowledge with anyone that asked for it. He was also a member of two mystic societies. Ronnie was a Christian man of great faith and believed in leading by example.
