Ronald E. Wix, age 67, of Harrisburg, passed away peacefully on Thursday, June 12, 2025, at Homeland Center. Born on August 5, 1957, in Chicago, he was the beloved son of the late J. Ronald Wix and Harriet (Glise) Epler. Ronald was a former member of Paxton Presbyterian Church.

A proud graduate of Central Dauphin East High School, Class of 1975, Ronald made his mark as an outstanding wrestler and spent many years as a dedicated Boy Scout. He devoted over 25 years of his professional life to various roles within the wholesale paper industry before retiring.

He found joy in reading a wide range of literature, including novels, military books, and sports magazines. Above all, Ronald treasured the moments shared with his family, particularly his cherished nephews.

He is survived by his siblings: Sharon D. Sanderson (William), Cindy W. Mory (Charles), James Wix (Gail), and Sonya Wix; as well as his nephews: Chase Mory (Kristina), Christian Mory (Brittany), and Jimmy Wix (Allison), alongside his grandnephews: Damien, Weston, Harper, and Mason.
