Dr. Ronald Wand, 81, died on March 19, 2025, in Atlanta, Georgia, leaving a hole in the hearts of the family, friends and patients who knew and loved him. 

The world is less bright and kind after the loss of Ron, a dedicated dentist, husband, brother, father, grandfather and friend. He was deeply connected to his family, unconditionally loving and a larger-than-life light to everyone who knew him.

Ron was born on March 3, 1944, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Gustav and Rose Wand. He earned his undergraduate degree from Washington University at St. Louis and went on to complete dental school at Marquette. Ron proudly served as a dentist in the United States Army before establishing his dental practice and dedicating his time to helping others through volunteer dental work.

The world was a better place with Ron in it. He captured our hearts through his ability to connect with everyone and he captured the world through his photography, a hobby and passion he loved deeply. He was an avid baseball fan, following the Braves from Milwaukee to Atlanta, rarely missing a game. Above all, his family was everything to him.

Ron’s legacy is shaped by his loving wife Linda, who he married on November 3, 1990, and spent more than 34 wonderful years with.

Along with his wife, Linda, Ron is survived by his sister Paulette, his children Jennifer, Jeff (Elena), Josh (Alyssa), Debra (Mark), and David (Monica), and his grandchildren Ali (Xan), Micah (Taylor), Jaren, Simon, Levi, Jaeden, Hudson, Asher, Hannah and Jared.

A funeral service will be held on March 20 at 12pm at Arlington Cemetery.
