L. Ronald “Ron” Million of Peabody died peacefully on Sunday, October 25, 2026 after a courageous battle with Parkinson’s disease, two days short of his 84th birthday.
He was born on October 27, 1942 in Middletown, Ohio to the late Luster and Hazel Million. He served in the Navy, traveled with his wife, Joyce, spent summers on the coast of Maine and sang for many years in barbershop quartets. He played football as a young man and watched it all his life, and to his final day he never let a hair fall out of place.
He leaves his wife of 34 years, Joyce Levitt-Million; his son, Greg Million, and his wife Leanne of Alberta, Canada; his son, Randy Bandoian, and his wife Jenna of Boxford; his grandchildren, Christopher and his wife Ashley, Amanda and her fiance Jeremy, and Gavin and Lucy Bandoian; his great-grandchildren, Christopher, Elijah, Gabriel, Theodore, Liliana and Briggs; and his sister, Gwen Million. His son Christopher Million and his brother Larry died before him.
