Michael Warren Ronk was born on November 9, 1988 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He ascended to Heaven on July 10, 2016 with his mother's arms wrapped around him and family members surrounding him. Michael filled our lives with love, laughter, hugs and mischief. Although he was limited in many ways, he didn't know it and found ways to live a beautiful life. Michael attended Bell Annex, Skelly Elementary, Whitney Middle School and Memorial High schools. His life was filled with many wonderful teachers and therapists. His daily care takers lovingly cared for him up to the last days of his life.
Michael was deeply loved by his mother and stepfather, Sandy and Jim Hampton, his aunts and uncles, Ann and Steve Richey, and Brenda and Mark Hilburn. He meant a great deal to his cousins Erin, Debra, Matt, David and Jason and other family members. A special thank you to Sandy's cousin Judy Ford and her husband Tony. His maternal grandparents greeted him in Heaven. Michael and his family wish to thank Dr. Scott Sexter and the wonderful doctors and nurses in the ICU at St. Francis.
Michael was a very special young man and his final act of love was the gift of life through donations of his kidneys and liver. One of his kidneys was miraculously matched to a family friend.
Michael, you are already terribly missed but we will see you again soon. Rest well my sweet boy.
If you wish to honor Michael, donations can be made to the Memorial High School Special Olympics and the Tulsa Cerebral Palsy Association.
