Ronnie was born on January 27, 1940, the second son of Haldon and Marie (Eberhardt) Reimer, seven siblings were born after him. He was born on the family farm where he grew up. From an early age, he always knew that he wanted to be a farmer.

He was united in marriage with Mary Eilers on April 1, 1959. They welcomed 4 children into their family.
Ronnie earned the Iowa Star Farmer Award in 1959. Then, he spent the rest of his life honoring this award by spending his days tending to his livestock, crops and his family. He loved planting the crops, watching them grow, and especially enjoyed fall harvest. He took pride in soil conservation and keeping everything looking neat & tidy, and spent many hours mowing waterways and ditches. He always enjoyed a drive down to the pond for peace of mind, to relax, and maybe even a game of cards with friends and always made time to visit.
