He then served in the Alaskan Canadian mission, spending time in Vancouver, B.C. and Anchorage, Alaska. Ron graduated from Brigham Young University where he was a member of the International Folk Dancers. Ron always loved to dance and was also a DJ spinning records at many of the local dances. He also loved to ski and was a ski instructor at Brighton Ski Resort for several years. Ron was always a hard worker and excelled in sales and marketing jobs. He loved nature, photography, reading, cooking, fishing, archery, shooting and finding thrift store treasures. Ron was writing a book at the time of his death. His recent life included extended visits to the Phillippines where he married his sweetheart Tess and enjoyed a new relationship with her two children Princess and RJ and Tess' extended family. Ron was able to bring Tess (and more recently the children) to live here in the United States. They settled in Spanish Fork where they both love the place. They have been active in their Mt.

The family wishes to thank all of the Mt. Nebo Ward members and close friends and neighbors who continue to lend their love and hearts to Ron and Tess. We also must thank Ron's home health nurses, Collete Kolesar and Dawn Right, from Hearts for Home for their amazing kindness and care throughout his illness. Special thanks to Collete for your friendship and always patiently being there. May God bless all of you.
