Ronald "Ron" Paschall

Ronald “Ron” Paschall, age 78, of Paris, Tennessee, passed away on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at his residence, surrounded by his wife and children.

Born on March 30, 1947, in Jones Mill, Tennessee, Ron was the son of the late Chesley E. Paschall and Nora L. Wilson Paschall. He spent his career in the tool and die industry, building and operating Paris Tool & Die for more than thirty years. A highly skilled machinist and respected entrepreneur, he earned the admiration of employees, customers, and peers through his craftsmanship, strong work ethic, determination, and leadership.

Above all, Ron was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather who took deep pride in his family. He instilled in his children and grandchildren the values of hard work, humility, and perseverance. He cherished time on the golf course with his wife, Rhonda, and was a longtime member of Sulphur Well Church of Christ and attendee of New Hope Baptist Church. Even as declining health tested him in his later years, Ron faced every challenge with the same quiet strength, resilience, and sense of humor that defined his life.

He is survived by his wife, Rhonda Crouch Paschall of Paris, Tennessee; four children, Doug G. (Robin) Paschall of Paris, David R. (Laura) Paschall of Chattanooga, Paul M. (Dori) Paschall of Signal Mountain, and Joseph F. Brown of Paris; sister, Patti L. (John) McCuiston of Puryear; brother, Roy G. (Anne) Paschall of Jones Mill; eight grandchildren, Austin, Macy, Makray, Carter, Everett, Addy, J.C., and Nora; and one great-grandchild, Avacyn. He was preceded in death by his parents and two children, Amy Beth Paschall and Jason Brown.
