CANAAN — Sergeant Major ( R ) Ronald Bruce Fallon, 80, went to his heavenly home on the morning of Dec. 21, 2019, surrounded by family in Madison, Alabama. His devotion to family, country and his firm belief in God carried him through and ultimately gave him peace.

Ronald Fallon was born Nov. 21, 1939, in Canaan, to the late Gilbert and Elvera Fallon. He was a Christian, beloved husband, father, grandfather, patriot, loyal Soldier and Vietnam Veteran, proudly serving a prestigious 30-year career in the United States Army, retiring at the rank of Sergeant Major.

He truly loved his family and he was as tough as God makes them but had a real soft spot for his Grandchildren. God, Duty to Country, riding his motorcycle, traveling the world throughout his military career and supporting his fellow Veterans were the most important things he enjoyed.

He is survived by his wife Song Fallon; children, Renee Brock, Buddy Brock, Kiya Fallon, Christina Fallon, Richard Liles II, John Liles, LTC Jennifer Liles, Jennifer Fallon Dittenber; and 15 Grandchildren.

“It is foolish to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.” General George S. Patton. Graveside Services with full military honors to be held in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Cemetery Road, North Canaan, CT on Saturday June 24, 2023, at 1:00 p.m.
