Ronald L. Giaccaglia, of Pinellas Park passed away peacefully into the arms of Jesus on October 8, 2021 at Northside Hospital located in St Petersburg, Florida. He was born on July 12, 1954 to David Roy Giaccaglia and Mary Louise (Forgan) Gaccaglia in Orange, New Jersey. He graduated from Art School and owned “LIVE ART” which he successfully build from the ground up serving many clients in the St Pete/Clearwater/Tampa areas. He provided Orchids, Bromeliads, Succulents along with a variety of houseplants to many florists, plant shops and nurseries.
He was known for his sense of sarcasm and loved to barter with his clients which were more like family to him. He truly loved what he did and was passionate about that as well sharing his love for Jesus with those around him. He attended Calvary Chapel Fellowship and served at the downtown Homeless outreach and sang plus served food for the needy in which he took great joy in attending every Friday night for many years. He was also active with an amazing group of men that he’d meet with on Saturday mornings for discipleship, devotional and fellowship until his COPD got so bad it limited him going out. He sent out an Oswald Chamber devotional every day to many of his friends and always tried to encourage their faith to be with God.
He is survived by his sister, Lynette Youngren, his two sons, Jesse Giaccaglia and August Giaccaglia , both of whom live in Washington and by his numerous friends he had a church and in the plant world.
He is now walking the street of gold and face to face with his Savior Jesus Christ !
Ronny more than earned his wings. Condolences to Lynette and Ronny’s family. Blessings to you all.
Sweet Ron, I’ve never forgotten you. I’m happy to read you had a wonderful life. Art and plants! Who knew? Gone to soon.💔 Love & Peace to your family.
