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.
