William R. “Ron” Wagner passed away peacefully due to natural causes on December 26, 2023, in LaFayette, Alabama. He was born on February 20, 1952, in Fort Riley, Kansas.

Ron proudly served his country in the United States Army, a testament to his dedication and patriotism. Following his military service, he pursued further education at Opelika Tech, where he earned certificates in both computer science and electronics. His expertise led him to a fulfilling career with Micro Services, where as a computer technician, he played a pivotal role in designing, building, and implementing networks for textile mills.

Ron was a man of diverse interests and hobbies. His passion for life was evident in his enthusiasm for Auburn football. Ron’s adventurous spirit soared as he indulged in remote-controlled plane flying, a hobby that connected him with fellow enthusiasts as a member of the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The skies were not his only playground, as he also explored the depths of the ocean through scuba diving and experienced the thrill of bungee jumping, always seeking new heights and depths.

He is survived by his wife, Evelyn Roberts Wagner, and his children, Becki Allen and her husband Randy, Courtnie Hutchinson and her husband Mario, and stepdaughter Amanda Revelle and her husband Ken. His sisters, Sherry Holland and Theda Welch, will also hold his memory dear. Ron’s legacy continues through his grandchildren, Cody Allen, David Yates, Jr., April N. Sandlin, Jaden Heard, Chase McCurdy, and step-grandchildren, Drew and Caleb Revelle. He was preceded in death by his parents, John William Wagner and Coy Jylaine Pierce Wagner.

Funeral services will be held on Saturday, December 30, 2023 at the Johnson Brown-Service Funeral Home in Valley with interment following in Harmony Memorial Park. The Reverend Rusty Letson officiating. His family will be receiving friends at the funeral home Saturday from 1:00 P.M. EST until 2:00 P.M. EST.
