Ron was a true handyman and outdoorsman at heart. Working a majority of his life as a mechanic, working on cars, trucks, and mostly anything he can get his hands on. Ron was always fixing something or working on new projects. Ron also found great joy and comfort spending time outdoors, hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family. He most enjoyed helping others. His generosity, quiet strength, and willingness to lend a hand will forever leave a lasting impression on everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He will be greatly missed.
