    Ron was/is one of my favorite cousins. I did not get to spend quality time with Ron these past few years except through email but fondly remember our younger years when the whole family got together at our grandparents home in Oklahoma.
    I will be looking forward to our next meeting.

    Ron was one of the nicest people I have ever worked with. He is the one I called on for all of my computer questions, he was always there to help me in any way he could. I will really miss our telephone conversations about business,family and our holiday plans.

    Colleen and family, I am sorry to
    hear of Ron’s passing and saddened
    to loose a member of our family.
    I lived in Jenks,OK. across the
    street from his grand parents,Geroge and Daisy Clark.
    George, was my dad’s brother, so, I
    knew Ron at an early age as I was
    born in Sept. 1934 and played together when Alma came to visit.
    May the good Lord Bless and Keep
    You and His Light Shine upon You.

    What a precious little boy Ronnie was growing up in Mexia, Texas!!! His Parents & min were best friends – they enjoyed many hours of bridge together while Ronnie & I were outside “catching lightning bugs & playing! He was loved in our hometown by everyone who knew him & everyone in town was his friend! Ronnie told me in an email once that “he had a personal crush on me all of his life” which thrilled me so much since “I was an older woman” – thank you Rinnie for that! I was so proud of the fact that he was a Marine for 8 Years during the Korean War & he was so proud to serve his country ! Now, you’re with your sweet Mother & Daddy & your sister, Coleen
    My sympathy & love to your 2 Sons & your Coleen
    I will always miss you & always love you!

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
