Dear carrion Family,
I wish to say how truly sorry I am for your loss. Ron gave me a chance to work for him when I didnt have any other options left. I am truly grateful for that oppurtunity because of what I learned and the impact it had on my life. I will never judge anyone without giving them a chance in the first place. His helpfullness to my family(mom and dad) and to myself will never be a debt I can repay. Keep on Cooking Ron and remember, there are people on this earth that owe you a great debt and will be impacted by your early departure from this life. God bless you and your family. You will be in my families prayers always.

Dear Carrion Family
My prayers and Love to all for your loss. Ron will be dearly missed by all who knew him. Eureka will not be the same without this kind man. Over the years I worked for him, I saw many acts of kindness to others. From stranded motorist's,the little black kitten that was terrorizing the dance hall-Ron finally caught him & gave him some milk.
He gave anyone a job who wanted to
work and even helped those down on thier luck. Ron's extreme love for his family (including Gaye & her Family) and all the things life has to offer,,all the things he did for our little community,,these are the things
Ron did,,,that made him my Hero
Good-Bye Big Guy,,I will miss you
Love, Babs

To my Pa.....Ronald Carrion was born on May 8,1945 and died on February 2,2009. He was a very good grandfather, but he is no longer with us on earth. I bet he is having a great time up in heaven right at this very moment! I know heaven is a better place than earth, but I just really miss him. I know I should be happy that he has a new life up in heaven with God and all the other souls in heaven. Pa, I bet you can only hear my thoughts when I can only think of them, but now that you are with God I should be happy for you. I bet you have met lots of other souls and made friends with them. I hope you are having lots of fun up with God and all the souls up in heaven. I hope you have met up with my other Grandfather (Papa- Dan Martinez) and celebrated with him. I want you to have the time of you life up in heaven with God and the friends you have made up in heaven along with our other family members who have gone before us. My Dad misses you the most, besides Gaye and all of your other children, good friends and family. I bet when you come back to earth with God Jesus and all the other souls, you will come back to your house just to see all of your dogs, horses and alfalfa field too. But most of all, I want you to come and visit my house. I will never forget you and your girlfriend Gaye. I love you Pa. Love your Grandson, Anthony (9 years old)

Hey Cuz......Did you hear the joke about......How many times did our conversations begin with joke and end with one? I do sometimes wonder though if they were all really funny but they must have been because of your hearty laugh. I always found myself laughing right along with you. I will miss our talks about our famalies (and yes I will continue to help Aaron), our planned get togethers that never worked out, our dinner at Scoma's and most of all our love for each other. Thanks for not only being my Cuz but my friend as well. While your in heaven cooking and telling jokes give my love to my Mom and Brother. Love your Cuz.

Hey Cuz.....Did you hear the one about.....How many times did our conversations start with a joke? Everytime, heck I don't know if your jokes were even funny but they must have been since you were laughing so hard which made me laugh as well. I'm going to miss our conversations about our famalies (as promised I'll help Aaron), our many planned get togethers, our dinners at Scoma's and above all your love. I will miss you CUZ, give my love to my Mom and Brother.

Ron was a very special friend that is greatly missed. The many things we did together are some of the best memories I have. He was always there for my family,he attended weddings, family reunions, yes Ron was welcome to all our family functions. He was also there when our family was getting through rough times. You see Ron was a friend in good times as well as bad times.
To his family, I know how proud he was of you. He loved you all very much and You don 't have to try and make him proud, He already was.

Ron...How I'm going to miss those telephone calls from you, trying to disguise your voice (which you couldn't do), and me, playing along with you until you realized that I knew it was you. I looked forward to those call, especially the ones on New Years Eve night.
How we are all going to miss you, your laughter, your jokes, your love. You will never be forgotten, you will always be in our hearts.
You and I have accomplished a lot with our family genealogy, say "hello" to everyone there with you, until we are all together again.
You will always be with us Ron.

Ron... I will miss seeing you, and listening to your stories.. you always had some kind of fun thing for me to take back to Oregon to remind me of you.. the Monkey Wrench Gang and all.. My trips back to Eureka wil not be the same...

Dad,Today I turn 42. It's hard to believe your oldest child is that old. But then, it's even harder to believe that you are no longer with us. Anthony wrote a wonderful letter about you the other day. He, Daniel and Gianna miss their Pa. This is so unreal for me. The days of picking up the phone and laughing at a good joke or something the kids did or said are no longer. That void will never be filled. Since your passing, Aaron, Eleny, Eshel, Evven and I have the goal of fulfilling your wishes. They are not easy but they are respected. I commend my brother and sisters for their patience, willingness to listen and to share their ideas, and their very conscientious efforts to make the right decisions. We are very appreciative of the help and support from Grandpa, Gaye and the rest of our family. As we celebrate your life tomorrow and next Saturday (Feb.22, 2009 & Feb.28, 2009), it will be too difficult to say goodbye, so instead I will say, "Until we meet again." Say hello to the others we love who have gone before us.
We love you and miss you dearly,
Your Son, Robert

To family & friends, it's been 20 days since Ron's passing; yet, it seems like yesterday. When I look back on my 30 years with Ron, I feel blessed. I have many wonderful memories with him. He was a good man. He had so much love in his heart, especially for his children and grandchildren. He was truly loved and will be deeply missed. Thank You Ted & Mary for creating this remarkable man. Ron was "bigger than life" to many who knew him. He was a "rock" to many as well. Though we went our separate ways, Ron still meant so much to me. "Until we meet again". . . .
all my love, Betsy

Dad,
I miss talking with you and swapping jokes. It is hard to come home and not call you with a joke that I heard that day or just talk about nothing. Not a day goes by with out a tear,
knowing I can not see you tomorrow. Dad I miss you. Tell Matt hello for us

We were so sorry to hear of Ron's passing. Always we'll remember the good times we had and the goodness he showed our great noisy family when we were in Eureka. He will be greatly missed by all of us. We love you Ron! May God Bless your family and keep His arms around them.

Ron,
I have so many great memories of you, from when I was in preschool to when I saw you last, Halloween of last year. You always could put a smile on my face. I made an attempt to always stop by the Owl when I was in town in hopes of getting to see you. Please rest in peace and I will see you eventually. I miss you!
Eleny, Eshel, and Evven,
I am here for you when you need a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, or just a person to be with. You are all very special and meant so much to your dad. My thoughts are with you all during this tough time.

So, I heard a joke last night. The first thought that came to my head was that I need to call Ron and tell the joke to him. No one enjoyed a good joke like my brother. When you told him a good on, you knew he was enjoying it when the phone line went silent. This silence only meant that his mouth was wide open, his head was thrown back, the receiver was in his lap and he was laughing so hard he couldn't speak. When he finally came back up for air, you felt like you were right there in the room with him, watching him wipe the tears of laughter from his face. No one enjoyed a good joke like my brother. I miss him terribly. I rest in the fact that I will see him again one day. For now, he is with Matt, Uncle Bob, our Grandparents and all the others who have left before us. He is busy entertaining...maybe even cooking.

To the Carrion family:
I just wanted to express my symphathy in your time of loss. Ron was a good friend to my father Doc Quinn and I had heard many stories about Ron and The Owl club. We were very appreciative of Ron's help with a memorial party for my father this past summer. I'm sorry I was never able to visit the Owl Club.

To Ron's Family: I am terribly sad to hear about Ron and I send my condolences to all. Ron was always a good friend to me and my late companion, Doc Quinn. He helped put together our memorial barbeque for Doc last summer in Ruby Valley. I will always remember him as one of my best friends and Eureka will never be the same without him, not to mention the Owl Club.
My prayers to his girls, great kids!!

I remember the first time I met Ron. I was with my soon to be husband Walter Murphy, his son Patrick and RC and some other people and we had arrived in Eureka about midnight coming from Lund rodeo hungry and tired and we stopped in the Owl Club and out comes this guy with a hug grin on his face and welcomes us. The next thing I know we all have roast beef sandwichs and milk in front of us and I felt like I was home. After that whenever I was in Eureka I had to stop by the Owl Club to see if Ron was there and just say hi. If I ran into him in Elko he would say "hey try this catfish its the best". It was with great shock to hear of his passing. Walter and I will truly miss Ron. He was one of a kind. You were lucky to have a guy like him for a Dad! Eureka will never be the same again.

Its been almost 30 years since I worked two summers with the BLM fire crew. The Owl Club was my second home and Ron's stories are among my fondest memories. I recently logged onto the Owl Club website and was saddened to see that it had been put up for sale. I wanted to visit one last time next summer and visit Ron. I'm sadder now to know I will never be able to do that. I hope everyone's memories of the Owl Club and Ron will help them through this time. I'm glad to have known him.

Our hearts are very heavy in the great loss of your son, Ted & Mary, your father, Robert, Aaron, Eleny, Eshel & Evven and your beloved Pa. Ron has been a true and honest friend for 3 decades to many in Eureka. He has been a "pillar" to not only your family but as well to many of us who have loved and lost. Ron was always there to console and grieve with us. We are now there for you...we will all begin to heal by drawing strength and love from one another and especially from God's unending love and presence.
We are here for all of you, and our door is always open, as are our hearts.
What a legacy he has left for his beautiful family.
With love and understanding sympathy we are your caring friends,
Glady & Pete Goicoechea

Evvan,
I just heard today of Ron's untimely passing. I've known Ron for close to thirty years - dating back to the days Amselco was drilling for gold in Ratto Canyon. I remember when you were born - Ron was so sure you were going to be a boy he made outlandish bets to that effect; however, he never regretted that you were a girl and I know he loved you dearly.
Over the years I spent many an hour "b.s.'n" with Ron; we used to walk early in the mornings. When we had the "1st annual Ratto Canyon bar-b-que" Ron contributed time, food, drinks and unlimited enthusiasm to the event which, in no small part to his participation, was a great success.
I last saw Ron in the early years of this century and we walked just as we had done 25 years or so ago. Although I haven't been to Eureka for several years, I know it will not be the same place when next I visit. Without Ron's presence, something of the flavor of the place will be missing.
Your father was a good friend.
Regards,

To Ron's Family,
I don't think I have met very many of you except Ted at the Owl Club. But over the last 3 decades it has been my wife and my pleasure to stop in and enjoy a few hours of company with Ron every time we visited Eureka. I was shocked and saddened when I saw his name this morning. Please accept our deepest sympathy on the loss of this fine pillar in your family. God bless you and keep you in his graces. Good bye Ron you were one of a kind.

Uncle Ron,
I will always cherish every moment I have spent with you. Whether you were banging on the wall telling me to be quiet and hang up the phone or the endearing way you called me Kathrine and loved on me. You know how much I love your kids and please rest peacefully knowing they will be loved on and cared for as much as humanly possible. As Ive gotten older I can really see and admire the strides in life you made and the conviction you had to be the best at what you did and make your life better. Your love for your family is a gift everyone wishes for. I love you and Im proud that you are my uncle. I cant wait to see you again one day.
All my heart, Kathrine

Dear Dad (Ron)-
I don't know if you can hear me, so i thought it might help to write.... Please walk a little slower, dad - now that you're gone, i feel so small. I'm trying hard to follow in your footsteps; but i'm scared that i might fall. Your steps were always strong and fast; but now they're hard to see. Please "walk a little slower, daddy," it's YOU who's leading me.
i miss you so much. eleny

Hey Brother,
It is so hard to believe that you are gone. There are so many things I would have gotten around to saying to you and things we would have done if I had only known that your time was so short.
There are things I want to thank you for, especially the introduction to the love of my life. The rest will have to wait until I see you again. You were the best friend and brother-in-law a man could have.
I will miss you always.
