A reader forwarded me the following related to CEM’s Ronald Dart:

Ronald L. Dart (1/7/1934 – 1/23/2016)

Services for Ronald L. Dart, 82, of Tyler, Texas will be held, Wednesday, January 27, 2016, 2:30 p.m., at Stewart Family Funeral Home with Jonathan Garnant officiating.

Burial will follow at Whitehouse Memorial Cemetery in Whitehouse, Texas under the direction of Stewart Family Funeral Home.

Mr. Dart passed away Saturday, January 23, 2016, at his home in Tyler.

He was born January 7, 1934 in Harrison, Arkansas to Tildon and Eva Dart.

Out of a sense of duty and patriotism, Mr. Dart served his country four years during the Korean War in the Air Branch of the U.S. Navy, achieving the rank of First Class Petty Officer.

Ron Dart was the founder and president of Christian Educational Ministries and the voice of the international Born to Win radio program. He attended Hardin Simmons University, graduated from Ambassador College, and worked towards his PhD at The University of Texas at Austin. He was gifted with the ability to make a difficult subject clear and understandable and his knowledge of the Bible drew many listeners. He wrote 11 books on various Bible subjects. Born to Win will stay on the air and continue doing the work Mr. Dart began.

Ron Dart was preceded in death by his father, mother, and sister, Nana Williams.

He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 62 years, Allie.

Pallbearers will be Gary Gibbons, C. Rod Martin, John Currier, Willie Oxendine, Joshua Voyce, and John Beasley.

Visitation is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 26, at Stewart Family Funeral Home, 7525 Old Jacksonville Highway, Tyler.

Ronald Dart was once with WCG, then left with Garner Ted Armstrong, and later left him and went out on his own (see Teachings of Christian Educational Ministries).
