Biography:

Ronald Lawrence Obie, 72, died peacefully on Nov. 17, 2025, at the Portland Center for Assisted Living with family at his side.

Ronald L. Obie passed away on 11/17/2025 after a courageous battle with lung cancer. He was a gentle and kind soul whose warmth touched everyone around him. Though he carried the unseen weight of undiagnosed bipolar disorder for much of his life, he faced each day with resilience, humor, and a generous heart.

Ron was a devoted brother to Paul Obie and Ann Busemeyer, a loving father to Tamra Lambert, and a proud grandfather to Jaxon and Annabella Lambert, who brought him endless joy. He cherished time spent with his family and friends, especially when music was playing. Ron loved to dance, laugh, and socialize—his spirit was most alive when he was surrounded by the people he loved.

He leaves behind memories filled with music, connection, and the quiet strength he carried through life. Ronald will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know him.

In lieu of flowers please make a donation to Gentiva Hospice, 53 Baxter Blvd, Portland, ME 04101 in memory of Ronald Obie.

A celebration of life for Ronnie will be held in the spring of 2026, date TBD.
