Ronald Gozdek, age 50, of North Plainfield, New Jersey, formerly of Garfield, passed away suddenly on March 24, 2019. He was born in Passaic, NJ to Ronald Gozdek and the late Mari Gozdek. He was employed by Custom Protective Services, New York City, as an Armed Security Officer Operations Supervisor.
Ronnie, aka Diezel, was the best Dad to his daughter, Joelle, whom he adored more than anything else in this world. Throughout his entire life he always made friends anywhere he went. He loved his work as an armed security officer, riding his Harley, touring and providing security for some of the bands he loved, was a talented musician, and embraced life with a boisterous spirit; those who knew him heard him before they saw him. He will be sorely missed by many.
