Ronald Cordes Obituary
Ron shared 60 wonderful years with his wife Becky before she passed in 2018. He is survived by their three children, Chris, Cheryl and Billy, 12 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, and his sister, Jackie. He also leaves behind close friends, and a strong church community at Kendall United Methodist Church, where he was a long-standing, active member.
Ron will forever be in our hearts, remembered as a kind and caring man, and a source of strength and support for his family and friends.
Devout in his faith, he shared a message with his church community a few years ago where he quoted, "Our little time of suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome-home to heaven." As such, his family knows that he is now reunited beside Becky, at peace with our Lord in heaven.
At Ron's request, donations in his memory can be made to the mortgage fund at Kendall United Methodist Church.
