It's a bummer, man. I mean, he was a total legend in the world of television. Who could forget that chiseled physique and those intense eyes? He was the epitome of a classic Tarzan.
A Life Beyond the Jungle
But Ron wasn't just Tarzan. He was also a brilliant actor who appeared in movies and TV shows like "Doc Holliday" and "The Love Boat." He even dabbled in writing and publishing, penning several novels.
A Tragic End

It's hard to believe he's gone, but it's a reminder that even the most iconic figures are still human, subject to the same tragedies as the rest of us.
