A Message from Tulare Terminal Manager, CJ Smith
It is with an extremely heavy heart that I am here to inform you of the passing of, what I would consider, Tulare’s foundation, Ronald Doyer. Ron was originally hired by Lessan Noel and Kari Arnett in Tulare California as an OTR driver on May 26th, 2005. His exceptional abilities and professionalism quickly became evident, resulting in his transition into the office on March 23rd, 2006. Throughout his tenure with us, Ron held various positions within the company, demonstrating unwavering dedication and reliability in each role.
Ron’s final position with the company was a Driver Manager/Training lead. Ron was a well of knowledge and an exemplar of dependability. His impact on our company extended far beyond his professional achievements. I had the privilege of meeting Ron in 2014 when I first joined Knight. His guidance and mentorship were invaluable to me and I firmly believe he helped me get to where I am today. Ron consistently prioritized the well-being of others over his own.
Ron had a remarkable talent for spreading joy and laughter through his love for playing jokes on all of us. Ron’s playful spirit created a positive and uplifting environment within our workplace, fostering a sense of camaraderie among anyone lucky enough to meet him. His ability to bring smiles to our faces, even during the most challenging times, serves as a testament to his kind-hearted nature.
The loss of Ron leaves a profound void within our terminal and our hearts. We extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time. We will be organizing a memorial gathering to celebrate Ron’s life. Further details to come. Even if you are unable to make it, we encourage all who knew Ron to join us in honoring his memory. Ron will be deeply missed, but his legacy of laughter and light will continue to inspire us for years to come.
In honor of Ron, we invite you to share any memories, messages, photos, or videos by submitting them to the link below. We will then compile and share them with his family, friends, and terminal.
Condolences 🙏 to the family and friends that shared his presence. May you all hold on to some of his inspiration, and positive joy, peace, love and laughter. From the reading of the word about Ron it would have been a great pleasure of meeting him. Prayers to the family.
My thoughts & prayers go out to this man's family, friends, and coworkers.
