Ronald James Rupert

Ronald James Rupert passed away at age 73 on July 17, 2023, in Spring, Texas.

Ron was born in Dundalk, Maryland, to the late Clyde Leroy Rupert and Jane Audet Rupert.

Ron enjoyed life and was truly liked by all. He had the remarkable ability to connect with people effortlessly, making him the life of every gathering.

Throughout his career in retail, Ron excelled as a manager, valuing and respecting his employees' contributions to the workplace. His expertise was in multi-store operations management, working for companies such as Ames Department Stores, Oshman's Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shops, and Relax-the-Back. Ron's work earned him many well-deserved awards.

Outside of work, Ron enjoyed golf, watching all types of sports, grilling, and was a member of the Kingwood Country Club.

Even though he was the fifth of seven siblings, he somehow always managed to get the center cut of a pan of brownies to the bewilderment of his brothers and sisters.

Ron is survived by his children, Jeff Rupert of Pittsburgh, PA and Alex Rupert of Montgomery, TX, and his grandchildren, Daniel and Olivia of Pittsburgh and Ricky of Montgomery, TX. He is also survived by his siblings, Clyde, Bill, Joan, Kay, Scott, and his ex-wife, Gail Rupert, who diligently saw to his welfare for the past three years.

Ron is preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Mary Rupert Perseghin.

A private memorial for the family will be held at a later time.
