Ron Jagielski
March 30, 1961 - May 12, 2019
Many words come to mind when the name Ron Jagielski is heard; handsome, caring, funny, entertaining, collector, artist, musician, the master, but, the one word that his family and friends would all agree that describes him the best, would be loving. Ron would do anything to help his family and friends. No matter what he did, he always did it with every ounce of love in his heart. If anyone needed to laugh, he would tell a rib-cracker, and add on a knee-slapper for good measure. If there was need for entertainment, Ron would tell an anecdote that people wouldn’t believe could be true, or he would bust out a killer drum solo that would leave everyone in awe. If there ever was a need for an example of what a father, husband, uncle, brother or friend should be, Ron was the man to look at.
Born in Chicago, raised on the South East Side. It seems like there was nobody “FLASH” didn’t know in some way or another. St George Grammar School, Dago Park, St Francis de Sales HS, JJ Kelley’s, Game Time, WJOB, Godfather’s, Avenue N, Whiting, The Rocks, The Fleas, Skidmarx, Republic Steel, Comic Shops, Rex Music, Accurate Painters, the list could go on & on.
Ron is survived by his Wife Carol, his sons Daniel and Richard, and his Daughter Jamie. Ron passed away peacefully in his home in Utah surrounded by his family after winning the longest and greatest battle of them all. He has left us with memories we will all cherish, endless laughter, stories, and music that will be passed down for generations to come. The world lost a legend, but he will live on in the hearts and minds of those who loved him.
There will be a Memorial Send Off Party at Aurelio’s in Hammond on Sunday, June 9th between 2:00 and 8:00 PM. Everyone is welcome to come and share memories, stories, and photos.

In Loving Memory
Ron truly was one of my greatest friends. A kindred spirit that still is with me always. We shared a common interest in collecting and the memories of our visits and laughter will never die. Ron, I love you brother and may you now Rest In Peace.
Ron was a very happy man always made everyone laugh even when we was sad he made that frown go right back up. He was not only a friend to me but he was like my uncle always there for me and my sister there will never be another man like him..Ron I love u r.i.p to his family I'm so sorry for your lost.. Praying for your family Cristina reyna
My deepest condolences on Ron. Knew him from grammar school and he was always a great guy. Always smiling when I would see him by game time. May Ron R.I.P. he will definitely be missed. Love ya Ron.
Carol, Ricky and all of the Jagielski family members, Ron was truly one of the greatest people I have ever known. I feel so blessed to have been able to call him my friend. He added so much to this world with his enormous sense of humor and ability to tell stories that would make you laugh until you cried. He had a big heart, loved his family beyond measure and was certainly too young to leave us. He will be greatly missed by many, but his memory will live on in many, many hearts. May he know God's mercy and peace until we meet again. Rest in peace my friend. Posted by: Patricia Pizzuto - Highland, IN - friend May 20, 2019
To one of the best friends we were blessed to know. Our love for you knows no bounds. Our love to all family and friends during this time.
Our neighborhood was like a scene from Sandlot. Ron would cross the street to my house, we would go a few doors down and get Kenny , and the game was on.We could play catch one catch all, baseball, basketball, or hang with the neighbors.I was so blessed to have that. Eve n back then, Ron was a truly kind person.Who am I going to tell ghost stories to now?I Carol, I am so sorry for your loss. We know he is in a better place, but it is hard being left behind. Prayers for you.
I met Ron when he first started his business. I'll never forget teaching him how to balance his checkbook. He was such a kind hearted man. I just found out he has passed. Heaven has gained another Angel! Rest in Peace pain-free Ron. Fly with the Angels
