Ronald R. Crouse

Ronald R. “Boss” Crouse, 62, of Washington, peacefully entered his eternal “Heavenly Home” on Friday, December 22, 2023. He was born on April 23, 1961, in Pittsburgh, PA, the son of the late Roy F. and Phyllis (Davisson) Crouse. He attended Trinity High School, was a truck driver, and a carpenter. Ronald was affiliated with Glad Tidings Assembly of God in McClellandtown, PA, where he faithfully attended Sunday morning worship and Wednesday Bible Study via on-line services. Ronald enjoyed travelling, watching the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pirates play. He was affiliated with Tri-County Patriots for Independent Living for many years as a Public Access Facilitator and Nursing Home Transition volunteer where he was a member of ADAPT. He travelled to Harrisburg, PA, Washington, DC, and numerous states advocating for people with disabilities to live free and independently in the community with Affordable, Accessible, and Integrated housing. Whenever and wherever duty called, for a rally or protest, “Boss” was there with the rally cries, “Free our People” and “Our Homes, Not Nursing Homes.” Ronald was also a member of the local ABATE and co-owner of Giddy Up ‘n Go along with his wife, since October 2013. On September 5, 1998, he married Deborah S. (Gardner) Crouse, who survives. He also leaves his faithful companion and partner-in-crime, Harley, who never left his side and misses “The Boss” more than anyone can ever imagine. Also surviving are two brothers, Russell (Charlotte) Crouse, Claysville, PA, and Robert Dale (Tonya) Crouse of Nashville, TN, three nieces, Sarah Crouse, Becky (Ryan) Wilson, Valerie (John) Voyles, a nephew, Jesse (Amber) Crouse, sisters-in-law, Kimberly D. Crouse, and Janice Errington. He was preceded in death by brothers Michael Crouse, Roy A. (Arnie) Crouse, and a great niece, Payton Lea Crouse. Burial was in Claysville Cemetery. A celebration of life will be scheduled at a later date. Memorial contributions may be made to Glad Tidings Assembly of God, 1711 McClellandtown Rd., McClellandtown, PA 15458. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Ferguson Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc., 700 Broad Avenue, Belle Vernon. 724-929-5300. www.FergusonFuneralHomeandCrematory.com.
