A memorial service, to celebrate the life of Ron Mooney, will be held on Saturday, April 19 at 12:00 p.m.  The location is Desert Springs Worship Center, 10714 W. 4Th. Street, Cashion, AZ.

Pastor Patrick Malone and I will be conducting the service.  A potluck dinner will follow the service, in the church's fellowship hall.  We hope to see all of you there.

Dear Friends and Fans of the Arizona Wrestling Legends,

I am here today to ask for your help.  As I reported below, Arizona wrestling lost a fan and great friend last week when Ron Mooney passed away at the age of 51.  Ron's passing has left his wife Ruby and their family in severe financial hardship.  To compound matters, it was discovered that Ron had no life insurance.  The funeral home is demanding thousands of dollars that the family simply does not have.

Cindy and I have been trying to help the family out as best we can, and some other friends have events planned to raise mney, but we are still very short.  That's why I am writing this appeal to you now.  I am asking you to prayerfully consider making a donation to Ron's funeral fund.  Ron was a great man who gave of himself to those who needed it.  Now, it's his family who needs help.  If you can't make a large donation, that's OK.  Even a few dollars would really help.  In fact, if everyone who visited this website each month would donate $1, we would cover his funeral costs easilly.

Please know that I don't make this request lightly.  We've considered every avenue available and there are very few places left to turn.

Your understanding and kind attention to this matter are very much appreciated.

Take care and God bless.

We are very sad to report the passing of our friend Ron Mooney.  Ron was a wrestling photographer and a real friend to the wrestlers and to Arizona wrestling in general.

We received a phone call from Ron's wife, Ruby, at 2:06 this morning advising us that Ron had passed away following a bout with Lung Cancer which had spread to other parts of his body. Ron Mooney was 51.

What can I say about my friend Ron?  Well, I can tell you that he was a great guy.  He would give you the shirt of his back if he thought you needed it.  I have seen him spend his own time and money to produce promo photos and t-shirts for some of the local wrestlers here in Arizona. 

Ron was so loved that he was made an honorary Arizona Wrestling Legend and was the only non-worker allowed to attend the annual reunion.

Additionally, Ron was also a lifetime member of the Cauliflower Alley Club.

We send our sincerest condolences out to his wife Ruby, their children and their young grandaugher.  Please know that our prayers and thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.

God bless.
