Ronald A. Slagle, 58, of Neshannock Twp. passed away September 5, 2019, in his residence, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Mr. Slagle was born October 7, 1960, in New Castle, a son of Robert J. Slagle and Elaine VanHorn. A lifelong area resident, he was a 1978 graduate of New Wilmington High School.

His beloved wife, the former Denise Stickle, whom he married September 19, 2004, survives at home.
