Ronald J. Justice's Obituary
Ronnie J. Justice 'Chevy' 33, of Decatur IL, slipped away silently on February 1st 2013.
Ronnie was born on June 25, 1979 in Decatur IL, to Ronald J. Justice and Pauline Justice (Dotson).
Ronnie grew up in Decatur and Harristown, IL. He attended Niantic Harristown High school where he played football; he also attended Macarthur High school in Decatur IL, where he was on the wrestling team. Ronnie earned his General Education Diploma in 2000 and went on to take horticulture and wielding classes at Richland Community College. He was an ardent driver at his home track Macon Speedway, where he dominated in his racing class; he was a passionate pool player and played faithfully on local leagues. He had been employed: as a tree trimmer, worked security and as a DJ at the Elbow Room where he earned his nickname 'DJ Chevy'. He was presently the owner/operator of Justice Brother's Garage. Ronnie's life would seem too short to many, but those who were touched by him understood that the quality of his existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which he lived.
