Debbie Rollins said she worked with Ronny Liardon at Copperas ISD.
She describes him as calm and will always remember how he always went above and beyond for children and the many organizations he was a part of.

Friends and family at the performing arts center gave their final goodbyes to a man so many said changed Bosque County.
"Main thing is his leadership, friendship, just being a solid voice at commissioner court and far as a friend or anything you can always…he’d be there to help you out anyway he could," said Terry Townley, Bosque County Commissioner for Precinct 2.
