Ron was born in Essex, Maryland on October 26, 1956. He was the beloved son of Patricia C. Travers (nee Brown) and the late William A. Travers.

He graduated from Kenwood High School. He settled down and raised his family on the Eastern shore. He owned a carpet store “Sail Carpet” and sold cars before retiring in 2021.

Shifflett, and Suzanne Battista and her husband Tony; his former wife Tina Travers; his nephews JR Shifflett, Sean Travers and Garrett Travers who enjoyed fishing expeditions with their uncle; close friends Dennis Felts and Kevin Blankenship; fond cousins, great friends and his faithful dog Marley.
