| Obituary: |
Ronald Stacey King, 59, a three-time NBA Champion, beloved Chicago Bulls broadcaster, and proud son of Oklahoma, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, June 7, 2026. Known for his towering presence, unforgettable catchphrases, and infectious warmth, Stacey left an indelible mark on the basketball world and in the hearts of millions.
Born on January 29, 1967, in Lawton, Oklahoma, Stacey was the cherished son of the late James E. King and Lois J. King. Raised in a loving Baptist Christian home, Stacey developed a strong foundation of faith, family, and service to others—values that remained with him throughout his life. He first made a name for himself at Lawton High School before starring at the University of Oklahoma under legendary coach Billy Tubbs, earning All-American honors and cementing his legacy as one of the greatest players in program history.
The Chicago Bulls selected Stacey with the sixth overall pick in the 1989 NBA Draft. He became a vital member of the legendary Bulls dynasty, helping lead the franchise to three consecutive NBA Championships from 1991 to 1993. Following an eight-season NBA career, Stacey found a second calling in broadcasting, joining the Bulls television team during the 2006-07 season. For nearly two decades, his larger-than-life personality, insightful analysis, and iconic phrases—including 'Give me the hot sauce!'—made every broadcast an unforgettable experience.
Stacey was a kind, genuine, and deeply generous man who cared about people. He had a rare gift for making everyone around him feel valued, from lifelong friends and colleagues to the countless fans he routinely stayed late to greet. Whether sharing a story, offering encouragement, or making someone laugh, Stacey made people feel seen.
While the world knew him as a champion and broadcasting icon, Stacey's greatest and most important role was being a father. From the moment his firstborn arrived, he embraced fatherhood with unmatched pride, dedication, and unconditional love. He raised his sons to live with authenticity, kindness, and generosity, frequently celebrating their accomplishments and ensuring they always knew they were the center of his world.
Stacey is survived by his four sons—Erick, Garrett, Brandon, and Mason—as well as extended family members, lifelong friends, former teammates, colleagues, and the countless fans who welcomed him into their homes for nearly twenty years.
Though his passing leaves an immeasurable void, his legacy will live on through the memories he created, the lives he impacted, and the joy he brought to so many. His voice may be silent, but the laughter, wisdom, and love he shared will continue to echo for generations.
While our hearts are broken by his passing, we take comfort in our faith and in the belief that he has been reunited with the parents he loved so dearly.
"Drive home safely, Chicago. Beep! Beep!"
