Ronald Murk

I had tears in my eyes when I heard of Ron passing.
We will greatly miss a wonderful, warm and unique friend.
Patsy, please accept my sympathy, I will miss Ron and Malibu will never be the same.

Our very good friend and neighbour was always happy to offer a helping hand. Be it cutting wood, pressure washing,fishing,bbqueing and on and on.
All with a smiling face and an interest in helping out wherever and whenevr he could...which was often.
Ron helped us install a bunch of machines, equipment and carpeting into the Portland Machine Tool Show many years ago.
And he always recollected how impressed he was with our fastest of machining centers for making parts for...

Our condolences to you and your family so sorry Patsy

What a heavy heart we wish Patsy, Ryan, Aaron and the many friends and relatives peace. Ryan did a wonderful job memorializing our dear friend. The service could not have been more comforting, hearing the many stories that embraced the truly selfless man that we all knew and loved. While we will miss him tremendously, the memories will live on and perhaps his legacy will live on through us as we look out for one another. Much love to our dear friend and to the wife he loved so dearly.

Patsy, so very sorry to hear of Ron's passing...we know where he is...and that is a real comfort to us all....May God wrap His arms around you and all your family at this sad time. Love In Christ,
Dane and Trudy and Jason Ruck

I have great childhood memories of Coach Murk when he coached my soccer teams back in the 80s and during high school when he and the family opened up their home to a bunch of wild high school kids for Young Life meetings. He definitely had an impact on my life and I'm sure all the other kids he coached feel the same. He will be missed.

Ron was my family's next-door neighbor from 1987 to 2000, and he was the very definition of the word Neighbor. Always friendly and welcoming, eager to help, spreading goodwill and encouraging thoughts everywhere. We will always have fond and grateful memories of Ron, and are glad that he was our friend.

I have many fond memories of Mr. Murk. He was always so helpful and kind.

In the early 1980's while working at Boeing/Auburn, Ron was one of the supervisors I supported. During this time my husband Jerry Downing was in Group Health Hospital. Ron could sense my anxiety of having to leave him at 10 pm and travel to Sumner in order to go to work the next day. This Angel visited Jerry several days a week from 10 pm to 1 am. He would watch a movie with Jerry and be there for comfort. This lasted 2-1/2 mos. while Jerry was recovering from loss of a leg and colon. ...
