He was a devoted Texas Rangers fan, and he took great joy in watching them finally win the World Series in 2023.

Ron proudly served in the United States Navy, an experience that shaped his strong work ethic, sense of duty, and lifelong pride in service. He carried those values with him throughout his life and into his role as a devoted father, family member, and friend.

He devoted 21 years to Phillips 66 where he not only built a successful career but also formed many friendships.

Along with his passion for hunting, he enjoyed spending time on the golf course and bowling in competitive leagues. He loved visiting with those he loved and oh, the many crops he harvested on Farmville.

One of his greatest companions was his beloved dog, Sadie, who quickly took the #1 spot in his heart much to the amusement of his three girls.
