Remembering Ronald J. Fleming
1948-2021
It is with great sadness the Network of Brothers (NOB) regret to inform you of the passing of its Vice Chairman of the Board - Ronald J. Fleming Saturday, February 13, 2021. Ron fervently served and guided NOB’s efforts to affirm and mentor marginalized boys and young men in the greater Houston area. Recently retired; Ron served as the Regional Director for the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) - Houston. We will truly miss his leadership and his gift as the ‘quintessential extemporaneous orator’.
A native Houstonian and Evan E. Worthing High School graduate; Ron went on to obtain a bachelor’s degree in political science from Huston–Tillotson College, served in the United Stated military, earned a master’s degree from Duke University, and a doctorate of jurisprudence from Texas Southern University’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
Ron’s affiliations included a lifelong membership at St. James United Methodist Church (Board of Trustees), Huston–Tillotson University (Board of Regents), Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, and the Network of Brothers. Please keep the Fleming family in your prayers! He leaves to mourn his wife LaSonya, his twin son’ s Kaz and Kirk, his step-daughter LaTerra Colston, his eldest brother Robert H. Fleming Jr., his sister Catherine Fleming, sister LaRue Hart (J. T. Hart), his twin brother Donald J. Fleming, Esq., nieces, nephews, and a host of extended family members.
