Ronald Brooke, 58, of Ocala, FL, passed away on June 23, 2026. Ron was born in Sanford, FL, to Sandra Jones and Eugene Brooke.

Known for his fun-loving spirit and a laugh that could fill a room, Ron lived life with a big heart. He was a man who loved nature and animals, often finding solace in the quiet of the outdoors. Though he faced his share of difficulties, he grew stronger through life’s hard lessons and remained fiercely dedicated to his family. Above all, he made sure to do right by his children, who were his greatest pride. His absence leaves a profound void, and his presence will be missed beyond measure.

He is survived by his children and grandchild, Ronald Brooke Jr., 37, Amanda Brooke, 34, Catherine Brooke, 31, and Sofia Haynes, 11, as well as his five siblings.

The burial service will be held at Highland Memorial on Thursday, July 2, at 10 a.m.
