Today marks the 2 year anniversary of this man’s death. When I first heard he had passed away, my heart broke. I was at school and you could feel the sorrow upon the people who knew about him. Ronald James Padavona , better known as Ronnie James Dio, played an enormous role in heavy metal. He had one of the great voices that no one will ever be able to duplicate. Sadly, Dio lost his battle against cancer and was taken from us. I would like to take this day to show my respect and admiration towards this man and what he did for metal. Rest In Peace, Dio. \m/
