He was a Clatsop County resident his entire life. Ron graduated from Warrenton High School in 1976. He married Susan Turnbull in April 1977, and they had three children. Ron worked most of his adult life at the Warren- ton Sawmill. He enjoyed spending time with his fam- ily, camping and riding anything equipped with a motor. He especially favored quads, UTV’s and motorcycles. Ron had quite a gift for teaching others how to ride, and his pas- sion for this pastime gave confidence to any- one willing to learn. He wanted everyone else to share in his enthusiasm for riding. In addition to his love of life and his family, Ron was perhaps best known for his unfiltered sense of humor. Ron lived in the Lewis and Clark area of Astoria at the time of his death, and enjoyed how peaceful it was there. He passed on Aug. 19, 2018, at the age of 60, after a brief battle with cancer. He was surrounded by those he loved. At the time of his passing, he was very concerned about the love of his life.
