Ronald Earl Haun

I met Coach Haun back in 2000 when I was the Sports Director at Local News 8, the ABC Television affiliate in Idaho Falls. I was fortunate enough to have been able to spend a lot of time conversing with him, interviewing him, talking about football and life. You could tell that he really, really believed that football was just a conduit to experiencing life & the rest of the world. He didn't want his players to be known just as football players. He wanted them to be well-rounded men. During...

Ron was my Tennis Coach for three years at Skyline High. When he started in 1969, he only knew the basics of the game. By my Senior year, he knew the strengths of our team and was able to lead us to an All State 2nd Place only behind a very powerful Olympus team. More importantly, he was a wonderful coach and friend. Thanks coach

In the late summer of 1989 I showed up a couple days later than most in Rexburg to attend Ricks College football camp after working in Stockton California as a laborer in construction. The equipment that was issued to me was way too big and outdated, due to it being all that was left. After two-a-days were over and after an afternoon practice Coach Haun pulled me aside put his arm around me and said "you can play here". He then personally took me around the equipment room and handed me all...

Coach Haun touched so many lives of the young men that he coached and I was lucky enough to be one of them. He brought me to Rick's College, first as a Player in 1983 and then he gave me the opportunity to Coach under him at Ricks in 1996. I will be forever grateful for both those opportunities he gave me. My Thoughts and Prayers are with Beverly and the entire Haun Family.

Sincerely, Nancy B....

I played receiver for Coach Haun at Ricks on the 1988 and 1989 teams. He was tough minded and no nonsense but he still inspired confidence with kindness. I appreciate the shot he gave me as a walk on. I will always remember the day he put his arm around me and told me that I had earned a scholarship and starting position on the team. I will never forget his fiery pre-game speeches followed by him kicking a big metal garbage can across the locker room. Thanks for believing in me Coach and for...

Sad news. Ron and I coached a little league team about 1961 or 62. He was good with the kids, and focused and taught the fundamentals. I was learning along with the boys. My sincere condolences to the family.

From the family side, All us cousins grew up mostly together, our parents visited each other and we all played together, now we are all getting older we have different priorities, but I would not change the way we all grew up, sorry for your loss , keep your memories.
