Houston, TX Wednesday, April 20, 2022 Our condolences to all the Berkland Family. Ronnie will surely be missed. He had a way of always making everyone around him laugh and have a better day. I will always remember the time he and his friends came to visit my family in Houston in the early 1970’s. He was an inspiration to live every day to the fullest. We went to park, the zoo, the botanical gardens, and I think Astroworld. Even in our last visit, a couple of years ago, he made me laugh several times just being Ronnie. He will always be my crazy cousin Ronnie.Prayers for all the Berkland Family,
Roger & Kim Oldigs
