Ronald Lariscy Obituary

Ronald Everett Lariscy, 67, of Lakrland, Florida, passed away on February 17, 2023.
Ronald was born on October 28, 1955 in Plant City, Florida to parents Kenneth and Love Joy Smith.

Ronald worked as a tile setter. Usually, self-employed, and setting tile from luxurious resorts to residential projects, he did beautiful work. His tile artistry can be seen all over the country, including hotels and homes in Las Vegas. Ron was a kind and gentle man who would gladly give the shirt he was wearing to someone who needed it more. He was notoriously late because he had to stop along the way to help strangers. From changing a tire on the side of the road to offering someone a ride, if it was in the opposite direction, it didn't matter. He was there to help. Ron was beloved by his family and will be greatly missed by those who loved him dearly.
Ronald was preceded in death by his parents. He leaves behind his very dear friend, caregiver, and ex-wife, Sonia LaClair, and her daughter, Catasha who adored him very much, his loving sister Connie (Brian) Reed, Cynthia Talarico, and stepbrothers, George, Greg, and Jeff Sands as well as his daughter, Mariah Farrar.
A memorial will be held for Ronald Sunday, February 19, 2023, at 12:30 pm following the morning service at Evangelists for Jesus Tabernacle, 15108 MLK Blvd, Dover, Fl, 33527.
