Ron shared many passions and interests with his family and friends. He loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing and spending time with his grandchildren. His priority was his unbounded love of his wife, children, and grandchildren. Ron shared smiles, sage advice and his sense of humor. He was always smiling, surrounded by family and friends. He was the model of love, caring, and most of all, sharing. Ron had an extensive collection of arrowheads and Indian memorabilia that he had been collecting since he was 5 years old. He also enjoyed his 1957 Chevrolet Panel Truck with which he won various trophies. He is survived by his devoted wife of 35 years, Hedy, children Diane Bredeson (husband Scot, children Justin and Zach) and Rick Garlock (wife Laurie, children Kyle, Lindsie and Clayton), sisters Karen Long (husband Mike) and Carol Carr, and brother Warren (wife Vickey).
