Mr. Ronald David Dasher, age 78, of Rome, GA, passed away Monday, April 12, 2021, in a local hospital.
Mr. Dasher was born in Valdosta, GA on October 6, 1942, son of the late Lawrence David Dasher and the late Evelyn Arnold Dasher. He was also preceded in death by a sister, Sandra Dasher, and by a grandson, Landon Dasher.
He attended Valdosta High School for 3 years prior to graduating as the Star Student from Lowndes County High School in 1959. He was also awarded the designation of Star Student for the county. In 1964, he graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Mr. Dasher was employed for 33 years with a major state utility company before retiring from Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia following 11 years of employment. He was a member of Rome Church of Christ where he served as an Elder.
He was an avid Georgia Tech football supporter and had season tickets each year. He and his wife loved to travel especially on cruise ships. They visited many countries. The beaches at Normandy and the tulips in Holland were especially memorable. The Panama Canal and the canals of Venice are not to be forgotten. Only one cruise trip was left on their "bucket list" – the Northern Lights.
