Ronald Paul Gravel, 60, a Cape Coral resident for the past 26 years, formerly of Peabody, MA, tragically passed away Monday, July 20, 2015 in Cape Coral. He was born October 4, 1954 in Winthrop, Massachusetts to Guy and Charlotte Gravel, now deceased.

It's impossible to sum up such an amazing person in just a single paragraph or even in words alone. Ron was truly an amazing role model and friend to so many. He touched every life he came in contact with. A man of many hats and talents, he was an upholsterer, a Chef, a restaurant owner/manager, pool shark/billiards master, guitar player, singer/song writer, avid cyclist, fitness guru, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. He poured his heart and soul into everything he did and did so with the best outlook and sense of humor. He sure knew how to make us laugh! "Everyday is a bonus," he always said. He truly had no regrets or fear of death. He leaves us his amazing legacy and wisdom to follow. He loved every sunset as though it was the most amazing gift every night. His camera is full of sunset pictures! He loved everyone he met and truly accepted everyone for who they are and treated them like family. He will be deeply, deeply missed.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 32 years, Elizabeth "Liz" Gravel of Cape Coral; two loving children, Joshua Gravel of Cape Coral and Katelyn Gravel (Jarrod Dugger) of Ft. Myers; five loving siblings, Michael Gravel (Janne) of Atlanta, GA, Patricia Kulakowski (David) of Peabody, MA, Frank Gravel (Rosemary) of NH, David Gravel (Cathy) of Peabody, MA, and Tom Gravel (Lisa) of NH; numerous nieces and nephews; father and mother in law, Jack and Athena Glynos of Cape Coral; brother in law, George Glynos (Lori) of Essex, MA; as well as several cousins including Paul A.
