Ron Killings
As news of R-Truth’s release from WWE begins to swirl across the internet, many are wondering about his personal life, including details about his parents and family.
R-Truth was born as Ronnie Aaron ‘Ron’ Killings on January 19, 1972, in Atlanta, Georgia, and grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States.
While R-Truth hasn’t shared much about his parents, including their names and profession, as he prefers to keep them away from the spotlight, according to some reports, his mother is Mary Williams Killings, and his father is Aaron Killings, both North Carolina natives.
Furthermore, R-Truth and his parents struggled financially during his childhood, as they were poor and couldn’t afford much.
Both R-Truth and his father, Aaron, sold substances on the streets for extra income.
Although R-Truth and his family struggled a lot, their sacrifices didn’t go in vain, as it didn’t take him long to build a career as a renowned wrestler.
R-Truth often expresses his love and respect for his parents on social media, appreciating them for being his constant supporters through all the good and bad times.
Similarly, the Killings family faced tragedy when R-Truth lost his sister, Francetta Killings, who passed away in June 2013 after a seven-year battle with cancer.
