Ronald Crittenden

August 14, 1942 – October 12, 2026

Ron, age 84, passed away on October 12, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of memories, laughter, love, and a family who will forever cherish him.

Ron was a thoughtful and caring man with a wonderful sense of humor. He loved making people laugh and smile, and he had a way of bringing joy to those around him. He loved life and found happiness in the things that meant the most to him. Whether sharing a joke, telling a story, or spending time with family, Ron created memories that will be treasured forever.

He had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting and fishing. These were more than hobbies; they were part of the life he loved and the memories he created along the way. He also had a well-known love for his firearms and enjoyed the things that made him who he was.

Some of the most precious memories of Ron will live on in the hearts of his daughters. One unforgettable memory was when he taught his daughter to drive a stick shift at just nine years old. Before long, she was driving them around through the woods. It was the kind of experience that captured Ron's adventurous spirit, his willingness to teach, and the special bond he shared with his children. These are the moments that become family stories, told and retold with smiles, laughter, and love.

Ron leaves behind his three daughters, Tonya, Barbara, and Sherry; his brother, Jerry; and his cherished grandchildren, Jay, Kaeden, Paige, Chris, Paul, and Crystal.

Though his passing leaves an ache that words cannot fully express, his life was filled with moments that will never be forgotten. His jokes will be remembered, his stories will be retold, and the memories he created with his family will remain a lasting part of their lives.

Ron leaves behind a legacy of laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, but the impact he made on the lives of those around him will never fade.

Rest peacefully, Ron. You will always be loved, always be remembered, and forever hold a special place in the hearts of those who knew you. Your memory will live on through the stories we share, the laughter you inspired, and the love that will never be forgotten. Until we meet again, may you rest in peace.
