Post-Apocalypse
Edit
Ron was a child who had a black eye when the survivors entered the zone. It was revealed by his mother that Pete had been abusive to them. Even after his father was killed, Ron still mourned. Jessie noted that even though his father was terrible to them, Ron still loved him. It's for this reason that Rick Grimes was able to talk Douglas into giving Pete a funeral.[2]
Ron later confronted Carl about Rick killing his father, to which Carl was unsympathetic, leaving Ron to wonder about the morality of the actions of both fathers.
Alexandria Safe-Zone ChaosEdit
Ron was seen hiding in Rick's house from Issue 81 to Issue 83 along with Rick, Jessie, Carl, Michonne, Morgan, Denise, Maggie Greene, and Sophia. Rick decided that they needed to cover themselves with zombie guts, and leave the house. Everyone, except Maggie, Sophia, and later Denise departed.
DeathEdit
Killed ByEdit
In Issue 83, the plan failed, and Ron and Jessie were killed by zombies. Later, Jessie also was devoured, when she wouldn't release his hand. It was possible that Ron was discovered first by the zombies because of, out of fear in walking amongst the zombies, he urinated. It was possible that the zombies were able to smell the difference and saw through Rick's plan.
RelationshipsEdit
Pete AndersonEdit
Like most boys, Ron loved his father and saw him as a good man, despite how he repeatedly abused both him and his mother. Like most children in battered families, Ron was completely unaware that what his father was doing to him was wrong. In fact, he saw Rick as the real bad man and murderer. His death left him very confused as to why his father was seen as the bad man and Rick wasn't.
Jessie AndersonEdit
Being her only child, Jessie loved and cherished her son. She always tried her best to shield him from Pete's wrath, sometimes at her own expense. She's also one of the few that understands why Ron still loved his father and requested for Pete's funeral. Her love remains even during Rick's plan to try and leave the Safe-Zone, when Ron's attacked by the zombies. She refused to leave him which causes her own demise, when she refused to let go of Carl.
Carl GrimesEdit
A lot has never been fully stated with Carl and Ron, but they did seem to get along for the most part. It was obvious, after his father's death, that Ron felt animosity towards both Carl and Rick. When they are left alone during the night, Ron confronted Carl about Rick. But Carl was unsympathetic about Ron's statement about Rick killing his father. This left Ron hurt and confused as to why his father was considered bad, but Carl's wasn't.
