Ronald Fred Kracke, a cherished resident of Mint Hill, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on September 27, 2025, at the age of 87.
Born on May 9, 1938, in Jamaica, New York, Ronald was the beloved son of the late Frederick George and Emma Kracke. He honorably served his country in the U.S. Army and later dedicated 35 years of his professional life to Royal Insurance Company before retiring.
On April 9, 1966, Ronald married the love of his life, Eleanor Keisel. Together, they raised four children—Fred, Ronald, Joan, and Russel—and built a life rooted in love and faith. In January 1986, the family relocated to North Carolina, where Ronald became a devoted member of Mint Hill Presbyterian Church. For nearly four decades, he served his congregation faithfully as both a deacon and elder.
Ronald was a passionate sports enthusiast, always cheering for his beloved New York Mets and Carolina Panthers. Above all, he was a man of deep devotion—to his family, his faith, and his community.
He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Eleanor; his children, Fred (Rhonda), Ronald, Joan, and Russel; and his grandchildren, Sabrina and Stephen Medina.
A visitation will be held on Monday, October 6, 2025, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at Mint Hill Presbyterian Church, located at 8528 Brief Road, Mint Hill. A funeral service will follow at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be in Sunset Memory Gardens.
Ronald’s legacy of love, service, and faith will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
