Ronald Compos Obituary
On Wednesday, November 2, 2022, Ronald Compos, beloved husband, father of two, grandfather of four, passed away at the age of eighty-seven. An accomplished artist, Ron valued time spent in his studio, creating unique works of art that brought joy to many.
Ron is a veteran of the Vietnam War and served honorably in the Army, achieving a rank of First Sergeant. He was also deployed to Germany and Korea during his service career.
Ron loved to read and had a voracious appetite for knowledge. His love of music stemmed from his time in Los Angeles record stores. He enjoyed a lively round of golf now and then and we cannot forget to mention his all time favorite sports team -- Go Broncos! He was known for his even temperament and harmonious demeanor. He loved everyone and everyone loved him.
Ron was last in a line of 7 siblings: Marcela, Dennis, Geraldine, Thomas, William, Ronald, Rita. In his youth at the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota he attended Holy Rosary Mission School and later moved to Los Angeles to live with his older sister Geraldine.
Horan and McConaty Lakewood will host the memorial service at 1:30pm, Wednesday, November 9. His family will inter him at Fort Logan National Cemetery on Tuesday, November 15.
