The family of Ronnie Steve Leal, age 63, has invited the Patriot Guard Riders to be present to honor their Hero as he receives his Military Honors and stand a Flag Line for him, we will be honored to do so.
Ronnie Leal enlisted in the US Navy on June 16, 1980 and served proudly until his honorable discharge on August 26, 1983 at the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class (E-5).
After Ronnie's time in the Navy he came home to Southern California and began working in Hollywood as a stagehand in the entertainment industry, setting up sets for TV shows like the Emmys, and for concert venues. He spent his entire career of 35 years doing this until retirement.
Ronnie also had many other interests and things he loved. He especially loved riding his Harley every chance he got. He also had a boat and loved boating with the family. In his retirement he took up a new sport, Pickleball, and was really enjoying that. He also loved walking his beloved dog DaBoy, and playing with his grandbabies who he loved to take on vacation.
Ronnie is survived by his loving wife Dianna, children Avery, Erica, Stephanie, and Michael, and 4 grandchildren.
