Ronald Harold Hofferber, 76 years old, born on 4/17/1948 in Grand Junction, Colorado to Harold Hofferber and Virgina Maurer, passed on March 26, 2025, at his home in Northglenn, Colorado.

Ronald (Ron) was the youngest of three boys. He was a spirited youth who often found himself in precarious situations with his older brothers. Ron was a man of all trades, building additions to his home, rebuilding engines, fixing cars and remodeling. Ron had a unique sense of humor and was always ready with a joke or funny story.

By trade, Ron was an industrial painter. He attended Emily Griffith College, studying to be an electrician. He enjoyed tending to the many plants in his greenhouse; many of which he rescued from those without as green a thumb as he. He enjoyed giving his grandson, Spencer, rides in his Ford Ranger, running errands like getting birdseed and baking.

Ron is preceded in death by his wife, Louise Hofferber and his parents.

Ron is survived by his daughter, Deidre Eatmon and her husband Clint; granddaughter Katelynn Hofferber and her husband John Thielen; grandson Spencer Eatmon; great-grandson Owen Thielen; and his brothers, Andy Hofferber and William (Bill) Hofferber.
