After getting married to Mary Ann Bartlett and starting his family, Ron opened his heart and home to include numerous foster children, making them a part of his family, and ended up adopting thirteen of them. Ron always had a welcoming smile and loving heart for his kids, grandkids, family, and close friends, spending as much time with them as he could. He enjoyed taking road trips and gambling at the casinos. He loved nothing more than visiting and laughing with his friends and family.
Ron’s wishes were for cremation and family celebration of life. Memorials suggested to the family and can be sent to 614 N Main St, Kirksville MO 63501.
