Ron grew up in Kansas City and attended school there. He joined the family business at a young age. His first marriage, Deborah Stokes, brought him a daughter, Misty, that he continued to love until the day he died. Ron later married Katherine, the love of his life, and he gained another daughter, Emma. Many grandchildren and a great grandchild followed. Ron was a father figure to many nieces and nephews.
He loved them all unconditionally and he loved to tease and joke with them all. Ron was a big fan of the Kansas City Chiefs, NASCAR, wrestling, and vintage Hot Rods.
Ron was big man with a bigger heart. His family is left with an even bigger void without him.
