RONALD HARSTAD Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Dec. 30, 2014.
Ron (R.D.) Harstad Jr. passed away on December 2, 2014 from life-long lung disease at the age of 42. He was courageous and thought only of others while battling 'just another notch in my belt'. He was a dear friend and an amazing father to Haley and Jack, his comrades in arms.

Ron is survived by his wife Jeramy, daughter Haley, son Jack, brother Todd Harstad, cousin Daryl Klein, mother Cynthia Anonson, and father Ron Harstad Sr., also numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews, too many to name, that loved him dearly.

A potluck wake will be held Saturday January 3 from Noon-3pm at the Salmon Bay Eagles in Seattle to celebrate Ron's life. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to Seattle Children's Hospital.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
