Ronald Eugene Aglio was born on Jan. 14, 1960, in Charleroi and passed away on March 11, 2022, at 7:05 a.m. Earth time at the age of 62, after a brutal four-year-long battle with cancer. Ronald also went by “Ron”, “Ronnie,” “Uncle Ron,” “Uncle Ronno” or “The Wizz.” Ron grew up in Monongahela with his father, Joseph; his mother, Mildred; brother, Joseph; and sisters, Marcee and Kate. He attended Ringgold High School and graduated in 1976. Ron was a hard worker who was dedicated to making his name known, especially in the music industry. He created Wizzard productions and was a top DJ in Pittsburgh for many years. Ron would run a successful entertainment management company known as NME and was known for his part in the band Royal Jelly. Ron was so incredibly proud of what Royal Jelly achieved throughout the years and anyone who knew him heard plenty of stories. In the early 2000s, Ron chose to move to California, where he continued his passion for life and made so many friends along the way. He was able to spend years making memories with his brother Joe and being an uncle to his nephew, Dustin and niece, Taylor. Although he loved California, he always remembered where he came from and never stopped talking about Pittsburgh or as he would say “Back East.” Ron was the ultimate Pittsburgh fan. He loved watching the Steelers and Penguins, especially with his friends. He grew to love the Lakers and was a huge fan of Kobe Bryant. Ron loved riding motorcycles, sitting at the bar drinking a Rolling Rock and was the ultimate storyteller. He could fit in anywhere and his joy for life could be seen from across the room. He also loved his dogs, Marcus, Mario and Vito, with everything he had. Ron was the most loving, courageous, faithful and passionate person. He proved to every single one of us that he was a real-life superhero who deeply loved the Lord and trusted His process every moment of every day. Ron was preceded in death by his father, Joe; mother, Mildred; and brother, Joe, who he said gave him the strength to continue to fight, along with all those who loved and supported him. Ron never wanted to give up. Ron cared deeply for his family and friends; they truly meant the world to him. Living to share his memories are his niece, Taylor, her wife, Alex, and their daughter Keola; along with his nephew, Dustin, wife Maria, their son Xavien and their daughter Aurora; his niece, Sierra and her two children; and his cousin, Joanne. He will also be missed by the best caregiver and one of his best friends, Tom; his godson, Bailey; the entire Miller family; Dave Barbe; and Janet, whom he referred to as his girl! He will also be remembered by countless other friends and colleagues who will miss him deeply!
