Ronald R Riviezzo

Ronald R Riviezzo, age 74, passed away on April 7, 2026. Born on July 17, 1951, Ronald lived in Powder Springs, Georgia for 24 years. Ronnie will be remembered with deep respect and lasting affection by all who knew him.

Ronnie was steady, warm, loyal, and full of heart, with a great sense of humor and a deep respect for everyone he knew. He never spoke a bad word about any other individual, and his quiet decency left a lasting impression on friends, neighbors, and all who had the privilege of spending time with him.

Ronnie's natural talent in sports awarded him to move from New York to Arizona on a baseball scholarship where he obtained his Bachelors. A devoted sports fan, Ronnie’s teams were always connected to his alma mater, The University of Arizona. He was also a proud member of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, guided by the ideal of a “life of excellence” through integrity, accountability, and brotherhood—principles that perfectly described Ronnie.

Ronnie loved to play golf and enjoyed sharing a cold beer with friends. He was a master at cooking Italian food, a talent that brought people together and made gatherings feel like home.

In his 20’s and 30’s, Ronnie was involved in the music industry as a concert promoter nationwide, working with top bands including Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac, the Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones, and many other major names. He later dedicated more than 16 years to Pro Materials Direct, a home improvement company, where he worked as a national installation manager.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents, Angelo and Jean Riviezzo.

Ronnie is survived by his step sister, Karen Kennedy; step brother, Jeffery Allen Ferri; step nephew, Kevin Charles Kennedy; and best friends, Barbara and Chip Rock. Ronnie is also survived by his neighbors and close friends who will cherish his memory.
