Ronda’s father had a rare disease known as the Bernard-Soulier syndrome. The condition affects the way blood clots when someone is injured. Platelets in the affected patients are unusually bigger than usual and are fewer compared to a healthy individual.
Her father had an accident while sledding which resulted in him getting a very serious injury to his back. After that, he was running in and out of hospitals for treatment and was in intensive care for months. As days went by, his condition only got worse.
However, he did not want to put his wife and daughter through the pain of seeing him gradually get worse with time.

Talking about that, Ronda said,” There was like, this one pond we used to go out to and skip rocks in all the time. And he went out there one day and put a hose in the exhaust and killed himself. And then, you know, I was eight, and I didn’t even know he was dying up to then. Pretty much all the time that my dad was alive. Everyone was that I remember–everyone was lying to me. I thought he was fine. He was dying in front of me the whole time I knew him.”
