Ron was born on March 14, 1943, in Los Angeles, California. He was the third son and the fourth of seven children born to Joe and Verna (Lopez) Macias, both of whom preceded him in death. Alifelong craftsman and dedicated family man, Ron spent his life working with his hands and building a life rooted in love, humor, and purpose.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife of 50 years, Joan (Reichling) Macias.

Together, they built a beautiful life and family grounded in loyalty, joy, and devotion. Ron is also preceded in death by his brothers Joe Macias and Robert Macias, and brothers-in-law Richard Easter and Nick Koshmieder.

Ron is survived by his three children: Jeff Macias and his wife Leticia, Cortney Maul, and Anndria Barcelona and her husband Razz. He was a proud and loving grandfather to four grandchildren: Logan Macias, Dylan Macias, Aidan Maul, and James Razz Ronald Barcelona, who brought him immense joy and pride.

A carpenter by trade, he built countless homes and buildings throughout his life, leaving behind not just craftsmanship but care in every project. He had a knack for fixing anything, a passion for gardening, and a deep love of music—especially the oldies that filled his home and soul.
