The family requests that attendees wear bright colors to celebrate Curtis's vibrant life.Mr. Ronald Eugene Lash was born on January 31, 1946 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina to the late Gloria Lash Butler and Estes Eaton. He received his formal education in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County School System.

Following high school, Ronald held several positions including ones with Parrish Tire and Merita Bakery. He spent the majority of his career as a mechanic with the City of Winston-Salem. Following retirement, after many years of service, he continued working as a custodian at Atkins High School.

Ronald loved going to the Flea Market, interacting with shoppers and vendors and taking home his newest "treasures". He drove on the roadways of the city and navigated them very well, but he especially enjoyed driving to the mountains and being enveloped by the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Anyone who really knew him, observed that he loved people. He was a good friend and looked out for his neighbors.

With his travels concluded and his assignments well done, gently on September 27, 2025, he passed away. He was preceded in death by his parents, daughter, Cornelius Lash Means and sister, Norma Lash.

He is survived by his children: Quandretta Sturdivant, Wayne Ingram and Tonya Lash; a host of grandchildren; devoted cousins: Vanessa Lash (Junior) Scales and Wayne Lash; a host of their cousins; and a special longtime friend, Curtis Roseboro.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday at 1:00 PM, October 11, 2025 at United Progressive Baptist Church, 1122 Quincey Caldwell Circle, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, 27101.
