Ronald Jeffrey Lockhart, 79, of Wichita Falls, Texas, passed away on January 31, 2024, surrounded by his wife Robin, son Ronald Jeffrey Lockhart Jr. and daughters Laura Malekian and Jessica Berend.
He was born to parents RJ and Beryl Lockhart (née Elborn) on June 16, 1944, in Cambridge England, yet before turning one year of age, Ron's mother moved to the United States with him to his father's hometown of Sulligent, AL while his father finished his service in WWII. Ron joined the military at 17 years old and served four years for the US Air Force. After his service, he began working at Sears where he worked for over 20 years before starting his own lawn service, Lockhart Lawn Service, which he ran solely for 32 years.
He married Robin Lockhart (née Marquart) in 1981 and is survived by his three siblings, Vivian McDonald, Roy Lockhart, and Betty Carter, three children, four grandchildren and two great grandchildren with one on the way.
He lived much of his life on his land, which held many horses and pets over the years, enjoying the country-life.
As per Ron and his family's request, no funeral or memorial service will be held. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, please consider donating at either the ASPCA or the Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society, a non-profit dedicated to the rescue of abused or neglected horses in Texas and Arkansas.

Many condolences and much sympathy to Ron's family and friends. Ron, my late mother-in-law Joyce Lunsford and I were co-workers at Sears in the '70s. I am very sorry to hear of his passing.

Whenever Ron came up to MSU, he almost always was bringing Robin flowers! He always had a smile on his face and was so genuine and always had time to ask how I was doing. Keeping Robin and her family in my thoughts and prayers.

Ron was a big part of my Sears family and I will hold dear all of the memories. From Ron, I learned a great deal about the importance of being genuine and sincere with everyone you came in contact with.

I am heartbroken to hear about Ron's passing. He was a special man and nearly always wore a warm smile. I worked with Robin, and when he visited, he always made everyone feel special and had fun stories to share. He was a man who loved life and would take in "dump dogs" whenever they would wander on to their property because they needed a home. The last time I saw Ron was at Market Street and he told me his day was special because he ran into me. He always made my heart smile. I know he will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Love to Robin and family. Always remember the memories you made with this special man! You all will remain in our daily prayers.
