The journey of life for Ronald Eugene Majors began on December 30, 1946, in Long Beach, California. He was the 3rd child of 6 children born to Alexander Majors and Alberta Lucille McGhee Majors.

Ronald was a 1965 graduate of Long Beach Polytechnic High School where he played both baseball and basketball. He was a talented athlete and was a member of the State Championship Team. He studied Social and Cultural Relations at Long Beach Community College. He met and married Gloria on June 1, 1967, and they were blessed with 3 children. He loved his family dearly and showered them with an abundance of love.

A man who was no stranger to hard work, he created opportunities for himself. He worked as a FedEx Courier from November 11, 1985, to October 18, 2004, based in Santa Ana California. He was a stalwart provider, giving his family the opportunity to enjoy the finer things that life offered. He was a simple man who enjoyed watching professional basketball, his favorite baseball team the Los Angeles Dodgers. He loved to bowl and enjoyed the bragging rights associated with his wins. Although tall in stature, he had a gentle and loving heart.

Ron’s knowledge of the bible was exceptional; he was a dynamic teacher and prolific preacher. He answered his call to preach, and his ministerial assignments included New Hope Baptist Church, Trinity Baptist Church and he pastored Harvesttime Christian Fellowship in California.

After retirement the family relocated to Prescott, Arkansas where he busied himself in ministry.

He served as an associate pastor at Macedonia Baptist Church in the Boughton Community of Prescott, Arkansas until his passing. His favorite bible passage was the King James Version, Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it”. He attended bible study faithfully, continued to attend Sunday school and worship services regularly until his health started to decline. His pilgrimage was modest, but full and fulfilling. Ron did it his way.
