Ronald Stoker Obituary

Visit the Lindquist Mortuary - Layton website to view the full obituary.

Ronald Millar Stoker, age 85, passed away on August 22, 2025. He was born on March 4, 1940, in Washington, D.C., to Ervin Rowe and Margaret Millar Stoker. At the age of three, his family settled in Layton, Utah, where he would make his lifelong home.

Ron graduated from Weber College and began working at Hill Air Force Base, where he dedicated his career until retiring in 1996. Retirement gave him the chance to pursue his love of travel, and he enjoyed exploring the world. A devoted sports fan, Ron especially loved baseball and attended games in stadiums across the country.

Ron was a beloved brother, uncle, and friend. His nieces and nephews adored their Uncle Ron. His gentle presence made him an important part of family gatherings and milestones.

He is survived by his sister Kathleen Overton, brother Michael (Carol) Stoker, and brother-in-law Ray Christensen, along with 12 nieces and nephews: Kimberly (Gary) Jesperson, Pamela Batson, Michelle (Kevin) Willis, Kent (Dudley) Overton, Nikki (Billy) Schellhas, Carrie (Dave) Williams, Jeff (Cindy) Stoker, Matt (Paige) Stoker, Amanda Stoker, Troy (Tom) Christensen, Misty (Ryan) Raasch, and Heather (Kyle) Rodeback.

Ron also held a very special place in the hearts of his great-niece Jacqulyn (Neil) Barrio and their children, Adeline and Owen, who brought him immense joy in his later years.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Ervin and Margaret Stoker; sister Shelagh Christensen; nephews Kevin and Ryan Christensen; and brother-in-law James Overton.

Ron will be remembered with love by all who knew him.

A graveside dedication will be held on Friday, September 5, at 11:00 a.m. at Lindquist’s Memorial Park at Layton, 1867 N. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah. Friends and family are welcome to attend.

Services entrusted to Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary, 1867 N. Fairfield Rd., Layton, Utah.
