Ronald Vargo Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Kloecker Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc. - Erie (a.k.a. Francis V. Kloecker on Dec. 18, 2025.
Ronald Vargo, age 61, born on February 23, 1964, to the late William & Victoria Vargo of Erie, PA., found eternal peace with the Lord on December 16, 2025. Survived by his twin sister Renee (Bob); brother Gary; sister Cheryl (John); and immediate family Sandy (Ike).

Ron attended Holy Family grade school and graduated from Tech Memorial in 1982. After graduation, Ron went to work for Erie Insurance for over 42 years as a Inventory and Materials Control Specialist, until his sudden and unexpected passing. He was an extremely dedicated employee and made many long lasting friendships which include Ken, Darlene and many others throughout the years.

As many of you know, Ron loved his Pepsi, the many cats he fostered and rocking in his rocking chair. Ron found serenity at his lot (Vicky's Acre) planting his garden and sharing the fruits of his labor with others. Ron enjoyed many visits to his favorite restaurant Ricardos! Ron took great pride in his 35+ years of sobriety. He had great determination and will-power. We are all so proud of him. He left us way too early. Ron was a loving son, a great brother, and a good friend to so many.

A special thank you to Steve, Ed, the EMT's and Hamot staff.

Family and Friends may call at the Kloecker Funeral Home and Crematory, Inc. 2502 Sassafras St. on Monday, Dec 22nd, from 11am until the time of the service at 1pm. Burial will follow at Calvary Cemetery. Send condolences to www.kloeckerfuneralhome.com

I met Ron when he saw me and stopped at the location where I care for a cat colony. He had asked if I needed any extra food. I think that accurately describes Ron. He was a kind and generous person. I did not know him well but I was glad our paths crossed. We each talked about the cats that we took care of, and how we both loved our "nobody's cats." I'm certain that you already know, but I wanted to take a moment to let Ron's family and loved ones know that he was a breath of fresh air in this sometimes cruel world. I was sad to hear that he had passed away.
