Ronald Wayne Montgomery, 68, of Linden, Virginia, passed away on September 15, 2026, at home.
Funeral services will be private.
Ron was born on December 11, 1957, in Buckhannon, West Virginia, to the late David Lajoy Montgomery and Helen Gaynelle Milliron McKinney.

He is survived by his sisters, Pamela K. Montgomery of Bristol, Virginia, and Stephanie D. Gallo (Tom) of Linden, Virginia; his brother, David Montgomery Jr. (Sherri) of Hampton Roads, Virginia; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Ron was a kind soul with a wandering spirit who made many friends on his journey through life. He enjoyed riding his Harley, listening to classic country music, and watching western movies and TV shows (especially Gunsmoke).
Ron loved his family, and they loved him. Words cannot express our sorrow. He will be deeply missed.
