Ronald "Ron" Herbert Brant

Born June 21, 1931, in Cumberland MD, he was the son of Wilbert E. and Mary Norris Brant.

Ron was a faithful Christian and a member of the church of Christ. He loved God and passed on his steadfast devotion to his children and grandchildren.

He joined the U.S. Navy in 1951 and retired as a Chief Radioman after serving 20 years. He and his family lived in many places, including Bermuda, Dominican Republic and the Panama Canal Zone to name a few. His patriotic spirit never wavered.

After retiring, he fulfilled his dream of owning and operating a grocery store in Kelly Lake, WI. He was a loyal Green Bay Packer fan, a puzzle-master, an avid stamp and postcard collector, and he loved dogs, who were always attracted to him like a magnet. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather.

Preceding him in death are his parents; his wife of 56 years, Shirley Jean Sheetz Brant; son, David Alan Brant; and his siblings, Buck, Gene and Annabelle.

Survivors are his son, Daniel Brant (Barbara) of Kingsland; daughter, Rhonda Neeley (Craig) of Hondo; daughter-in-law Cheryl Brant of Michigan; grandchildren, Stacy Modisett, Rhonda Hatchett, Tara Neeley, Craig Daniel Neeley, Lara Condren, Kevin Neeley, Misty Fenner, Sara Terryah, Nathan Brant and David Brant; and 20 great-grandchildren.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, March 18, 2022 at Johnson's Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens in San Angelo.
