Ronald Primeaux
Sad word was received February 23, 2011 that our adopted brother,
Ronald Primeaux has passed away, February 22, 2011 at Seattle,
Washington, King Country.
I remember Ronnie as a boy when his mother, Verma Eagle used to
visit Mother. Sometime after Verma’s death the home where Ronald
was kept called my mother, Velma. Ronald was a teen, but
Mother never hesitated about bringing into our home and this was
for the good of our whole family.
Ronald was gentle and kind. He took easily to helping me with my
daughter in a wheelchair when she was just a child. He seemed to have
a deep compassion for her condition. He was fun loving and always
found a way to entertain her. His patient ways allowed him to sit with
her for hours either watching t.v., pushing her around the yard or just
sitting and visiting. She would giggle out loud and I always wondered
what he must say to her to make her laugh.
He was as kind to my aging father and mother as to my daughter in the
wheelchair. He never spoke to my father unless he called him, “Dad,
or to Mother without calling her, “Mom.”
One of the last times I saw him was when he went with me to run an errand
at the tribe. A young worker was rude to me and I didn’t pay
any attention to him.
Ronald drew his handsome self up to his height. He was built with a
perfect physical body, strong and Adonis like in his appearance.
“He started back toward the smart Alec kid and said, “What’s it to YOU, Fella.”
Quickly I grabbed him arm and said, “Come on, Ronnie. Help me get
Rhonda into the car. Let that nut go!”
His natural good natured way took over and he laughed along with me
while we managed chair and Rhonda into the car.
So now, dear adopted little brother, we must let you go. Rest your heart,
and sleep well. We will know you again at a time when there will be
no heartache from the conditions you walked through even from the time
you were a child. If we gave you a brief few secure pleasant times these
are the things we will remember, and thank you for your giving the
hospital my name to contact upon your death. Good-by only for now.
