Ronald was born on October 10, 1958, in Carrolton, Missouri to Robert G. Cowick and Patricia (Hobbs) Trainer. He graduated in 1976 from Lexington High School. Ronald retired from Walmart as a stock employee. On August 16, 1997, Ronald was united in marriage to Shirley Jean (Dunn) Cowick, a partnership that brought him immense joy. Sadly, Shirley preceded him in death on March 8, 2021, leaving a void in his heart. He was a member of Assembly of God in Lexington.
