Obituary - Ronald (Ron) Allen Warner

Ronald (Ron) Allen Warner, 58, Archie, Missouri, passed away in his home Friday, March 2, 2018, surrounded by loved ones. Ron was born March 9, 1959, at the Butler Memorial Hospital in Butler, Missouri. He was the youngest child and only son of William (Bill) and Clissie May (Minnick) Warner. Ron was a lifelong Archie resident, graduating from Archie High School in 1977.

After graduation, he helped his dad farm and worked part-time for Sutton Trucking in Archie. He eventually bought his own truck and drove full-time for Sutton Trucking for over a decade.

Ron was united in marriage to Janice Sue Downs on January 29, 1990, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

While Ron loved trucking and always had a story to tell about his trucking days, his true passion was farming. After he and Janice were married, Ron continued driving full-time for Sutton Trucking, but the couple also started building their farm by purchasing a herd of registered Limousin cattle. Over the next few years the couple grew their operation by incorporating row crops. Eventually, Ron quit trucking and farmed full-time for the rest of this life.

Ron enjoyed nothing more than sitting in a tree stand early in the morning, putting the boat in the water as the sun came up to go crappie fishing, seeing a new calf learn to stand on wobbly legs, and frying fish for a backyard full of friends and family.

Ron was preceded in death by his father, William (Bill) Warner. Survivors include his wife, Janice Warner of Archie; daughter, Samantha Blackwell and husband, Brandon, of Morrison, Oklahoma; son, Nathan Warner of Archie, and fiancée, Julie Choate; mother, Clissie May Warner of Archie; sister, Linda Ness and husband, Jon, of Ambrose, North Dakota; sister, Sharon Jackson and husband, Mike, of Spokane, Washington; sister, Patty Grosshart and husband, Deral, of Archie; sister, Lou Stinson and husband, Scott, of McGregor, Minnesota; and many nieces, nephews and other family members who he loved deeply.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, March 7, 2018, at the First Baptist Church of Archie. Burial will follow at Crescent Hill Cemetery in Adrian, Missouri. The family will receive friends from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 6, 2018, at the First Baptist Church of Archie. Contributions can be made in Ron’s name to the American Cancer Society or St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
