Ronald Clubine Obituary

Feb 28, 1937 - Feb 21, 2026

Ronald Lee Clubine, 88, of Richmond, MO, passed away peacefully on February 21, 2026. He was born on February 28, 1937, in northeastern Missouri.

In 1957, Ronald married his wife, Barbara June Brooks. Together they raised their three boys on their family farm in Sibley, MO, where they lived most of their lives. The farm was more than just home - it was where lessons were taught, memories were made, and a strong foundation of family was built.

Ronald dedicated many years of his career as an ironworker with Local 10 in Kansas City, MO. He took great pride in his work and was known for his strength, dependability, and quiet determination.

Family was the center of Ronald's world. He loved hunting and fishing with his sons, sharing time outdoors and creating stories that would be told for generations. In his younger years, he enjoyed driving dirt track stock cars and later became an avid NASCAR fan. He rarely missed a race and always enjoyed the thrill of the sport.

He was especially proud of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ronald loved watching them play their sports and was always cheering from the sidelines. He was also known as quite the trickster - teasing, joking, and playing with his grandchildren whenever he could. His playful spirit and sense of humor brought laughter to family gatherings and created memories that will be cherished forever.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Barbara June Clubine; his mother, Vera Talbert; and his brother, Larry "Peevine" Pipes.

Ronald is survived by his brothers, Tom Talbert and Gene Talbert; his sister, Beverly; his three sons, Michael Eugene Clubine (Cindy), Robert Lee Clubine (Debbie), and Donald Wayne Clubine (Molly); six grandchildren; and twelve great-grandchildren.

Ronald will be remembered for his hardworking nature, his love of the outdoors and racing, his playful spirit, and above all, his deep devotion to his family. His legacy lives on in the land he worked, the family he raised, and the many lives he touched.
