Ronald Albert Taylor Sr., also known as P-nut Man, Ronnie, or Albert, passed away Thursday, March 29, 2018 at the age of 67 years old. As he left this world to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his amazing daughter Rachelle held his hand. Ronald was born August 31, 1950 in Leesburg, Florida as Lena Mae Lundy Taylor’s only child. Ronald served with dignified service in South Vietnam as a United States Marine. Later in his life, he became an entrepreneur selling boiled peanuts, which earned him his nickname. He was an enthusiastic storyteller and a nomad by nature. He always carried love for his children in his heart. His most recognizable catch phrase was “Wind ‘em up!” Ronald is survived by his daughters, Rachelle Taylor Kirkley, Candice Taylor Kilzi, and Krystallyn Taylor Keith; sons, Ronald Albert Taylor Jr. and Joshua Taylor; step-son, Michael Barber; grandchildren, Matthew Sparks, Michael Gonzalez, Ashley, Mikaela and Katelyn Barber, Yasmin and Alina Kilzi, Odin Keith, and his great-grandson, Lincoln Sparks. Ronald was preceded in death by his mother, Lena Mae Lundy Taylor. A graveside service with military honors will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, April 2, 2018 at the Florida National Cemetery on 6502 Southwest 102nd Avenue, Bushnell, Florida with officiators from Page Theus. After his interment, the family will have a private memorial gathering.
