Jason M. Roncz

Dec. 8, 2007
SOUTH BEND - Jason Michael Roncz, 32, unexpectedly passed away in his home from natural causes on December 8. He graduated from Riley High School in 1993, and attended Holy Cross College. He was the owner and president of the Roncz Inspection Company.

Jason was a natural athlete, who started playing T-Ball at the age of 6, then joined the Southeast Little League, and after high school continued playing softball where he made many lifelong friends. He played on five teams which won city titles. In 1998 he played on the USSSA State Championship team, and in 2002 on the NSA State Championship team. He also served as an assistant coach for his daughter's East Side Little League team. He was an avid fan of the New York Yankees, the Dallas Cowboys and Notre Dame football.

Jason is survived by his mother, Maribeth Roncz; children, Michael Roncz and Reeann Beck; Amy Roncz; uncles, Jim (Natalie) Aldridge and John Roncz; aunt, Janet (Ralph) Sanders; and cousins, Brittney and Jordan Aldridge, Allyson (Aaron) Smith and Rachel (Nathan) Beittenmiller.

His father, Michael Aldridge, preceded him in death.

Jason was fond of animals, sharing his home with two dogs and two cats. He will be missed by the wild squirrels in his neighborhood who ran up and climbed on him looking for the handouts he gave them. He was a good friend to many, and a devoted father.

Showing will be today from 2 to 7 PM in the Hickey Funeral Home on Cleveland Road. Services will be conducted there at 11 AM Thursday. Pastors Rob Wegner and Mark Walz of Granger Community Church will officiate. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Jason Roncz Scholarship Fund at any branch of the 1st Federal Savings Bank, or mailed to the bank at 620 W Edison, Mishawaka IN 46545.
