Ronald Lewis Patania

On October 11, 2013, in Wells NV another amazing person left this world to move on to the next.  Ronald Lewis Patania was born on October 21, 1977, in San Francisco, CA to Regina Ann Scholl. He was a very health 10 lb baby boy with roly-poly cheeks and whom giggled all the time.

 As he got older people remembered his big smile and even bigger laugh. Ron never graduated high school, but fought hard to finish his GED and take computer classes to make something of his life. As a youth he moved a lot, but spent his formative years on Beaver Island, Michigan, where he learned to love nature, camping and snowmobiling.  

Ron held various jobs; tire technician, computer tech support and factory worker. He had been working as a diesel mechanic the last 5 years most recently at BTI, where everyone loved his sense of humor and "can do" attitude.

Ron met his love, Misty Wiley, in late 2000, early 2001. At his death they had been together almost 13 years and have one daughter, Kaylie Anne Patania, who just turned 4 last week. He left so many people who loved and cherished him. Two sisters; his baby sister Casandra Patania with her 4 children Shiyee, Emoneayh, Qayden and Dakari. As well as his older sister Marian (Mimi) Lewis.

Ron left us too soon and will be missed by friends and family everywhere he had been.
