My Name is Walt, I shared a locker with Ron in Chute Jr High School, he was a very nice guy and forgave me for accidentally closing his fingers in the locker. (he came to the locker behind me and I did not know he was there) It was a panic to undo the combo lock to get his fingers out while he was screaming. Sorry to hear of his passing, prayers to family.

Ron and Jaxon have always had a special bond, but their friendship really took off when Jaxon ventured to building a custom home. Ron gave endless advice and had tons of tricks up his sleeve for building, as he built his own home as well. Jaxon will forever cherish the time him and Ron spent together working on the house. Ron always moved with kindness and was always willing to lend a hand. Rest in peace to an eternal friend and mentor. We will never forget you. Love, Jaxon and Jackie.

Rest in peace, dear Ron. So very sorry for your family and loved ones. My husband Steve and I have fond memories from over the years. He shared a lifelong friendship with my brother Michael, and our whole family loved him.
May the Angels rest upon your pillow.
