Ronald Joseph Salem, resident of Everett, MA passed away on February 2nd, 2017 in Boynton Beach, Florida. After a lengthy and happy period of sobriety, Ronnie ultimately lost his battle with the disease of addiction. Born on 12/31/90 in Malden, MA he leaves behind his loving mother Patricia Salem, father Jon Salem, and sister Jessica Salem. Ronald is also survived by his Nana and Papa, Kevin and Joan Spearman, of Lynn, MA. He will be missed dearly by his aunts, uncles, cousins and his girlfriend Mariana Borges who will all hold him close in their hearts for eternity. Ronald was also the beloved grandson of the late Martha Salem.

Ronnie was a graduate of Everett High School Class of 2009. Growing up Ronnie enjoyed playing sports and knocked out a few grand slams in little league. Ronnie grew to have a passion for the outdoors with fishing, camping and snowboarding being some of his favorite activities. Ronald went on to mechanical trade school. Following completion, Ronald worked as an auto mechanic. Ronnie had a knack for making people laugh. He was kind-hearted, respectful, and spread joy to all he encountered.

The family would like to thank all who have supported us with the outpouring of love and extreme generosity during this time of grief.

Dear Patty and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Ronnie's sudden passing. He was a beautiful person inside and out. I will always remember the little boy with the warm smile and the good man he grew up to be. Although he had his struggles he was good kid and it isn't fair he was taken from us so soon. Maybe, hopefully others will learn from this and make the changes to overcome their demons and now they will have a guardian angel watching over them. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss. I have such fond memories of Ronnie when he and Chris used to hang out after school and how you both were always so kind and welcoming to Chris in your home. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child, and I hope that in time you and your family are able to find some small measure of comfort in your many fond and wonderful memories of Ronnie. Again, my heartfelt condolences.
