Dear Debbie and family
We just heard of Ron's sudden passing and were deeply saddened.  We always looked forward to our visits with him up at Bear Lake.  We got such great pleasure laughing with him and listening to his stories about his life. We could always count on him to keep us informed on what was happening in the subdivision there.  Ron, this Summer at the lake will not be the same with out you.  God bless you, Debbie and your family, as you go through this journey together.
Love Joyce and Gilbert Larson

Breivik family-

My deepest condolences go out to your family.  Ron has been an integral part of my work at Dugway- always making sure that I, and our customers, were always taken care of and ALWAYS with a smile and a story or two.  He spoke constantly of his family and pets (the parrot that he swears hated him!) with such pride.  It will never be the same not seeing him behind the wheel or popping in to say hello, share a meal with us and a funny story.

Even when I was well-acqainted with Ron in his early years, he was a kind soul.  I have great memories of playing kick soccer in the street or hide-n-seek later in the evening.  It didn't matter how much younger you were than Ron, he always treated you like you were as important as the rest.  Even then, his delightful friendliness and sense of humor was there.  How sad I was to hear of his passing.  I wanted to extend my sympathies to his family and let you know you'll be in my prayers.

So grateful and blessed to have such an incredible uncle in my life. I have so many memories of Uncle Ron and aunt Debbie over at our house on Sundays watching Simpsons and my parents playing Rook with them. He was hilarious and always gave me a hug and would say, "hey perty". He always made me feel important. I still think of his voice. I love you Ron. So proud of Debbie and her strength and my dear cousins. So happy to know that Ron is with Thomas now.

Dear Debbie and Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your husband and father. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.  May you feel his loving spirit and memories surround you always. 
Love and Sympathy,
Linda Jepson

We are deeply saddened to hear of your loss of Ron.  Debbie, please know that we are thinking of you and your family.  Sincerely, Shirley Seidel (Holladay, Utah) and

Ron I miss you so much,, who is going to pull me at church on sunday to talk about food we like, and how pretty I look. I will miss you at the football game, you are loved by Watchmans family.

When I think back to growing up in the Wilford Stake I think of Ron and Steve. We would sneak into the Wilford Stake or Wilford ward to play basketball. Kurt Hoops and the rest of the gang. I saw Ron in March of this year at a b-Ball game. He was always the nicest person to everyone. I am so sorry for your loss. My own father passed away at 50 and he still has a influence in my life. Keep the faith.

Hillary,
 My heart is broken for you today because I know how your heart is torn apart losing your Dad. I know he was your best friend as a Dad should be and how luck are you to have that relationship with Ron. He always made you smile when he came into the office or you talked to him on the phone. And the picture of you and him in the golf cart at the BOWG golf games will always be in my mind. 
 I love you and know that my thoughts will be with you for along time.

So very sorry to hear about Ron - he was a good friend at a strategic point in my life - good times with him, Kenny, John, Rita and the rest of the gang - May God Bless and help you all remember the good times!  Ron could always bring a smile and make ya laugh!

Goodbye my brother. Thank you for always looking out for me. You were a one of a kind and I will miss you. The world is missing you. You were a wonderful friend and brother. I love you Ron...May peace be with you.

Debbie, I am so saddened to learn of Ron's passing.  He was my first and best friend when I moved to SLC.  I always enjoyed catching up on our families whenever we talked.  God bless you and your family.
Rita Langdon Miller

Ron, you were truly an influential man on all of the young men growing up in the ward. I always valued our conversations and respected your strong work ethic and devotion to the Lord. May the Lord bless your family in time of need.

I had Ron and Steve in my guide patrol in the Wilford Ward, in the 60's.  I am shocked at Ron's passing. The young should stay and the old must not lose them.  My love and wishes go out to your family even though I lost track of my boys when I moved, I never forgot them. I know the Lord is looking after him.

It's been so many years, Debbie, and I've wondered how life has turned out for you and Ron. From the wonderful pictures it looks like you have had a life full of love and joy with Ron. That is a blessing. Hold true and look to the eternities.  My love to you and all of your family.  Tom

to the breivik family,
we are all so sorry for your loss, he was the nicest, sweetest, funniest most  kind hearted man that we have met. when we hear about what happen we didn't believe it because he was i'n my store two days before.. ron will be greatly missed and the store will not be the same knowing that he will not be coming i'n to make me laugh over the weirdest things... he was the type of guy that would say whatever was on his mind he would say whatever just to make you laugh when you were down.... he will be greatly missed.... and to the breivik family if you guys ever need anything you know where to find us.... it's going to be hard getting through this tough time, he was a great father, husband, brother, son, cousin, friend  but most importantly he was just a good man all around...

It's still hard to believe that your gone, my store is not goin to be the same any more knowing that a good friend, will no longer be coming In to see me... I am going to miss all the good funny talks that we had bout anything and everything, I know you are I'n a good place.. To the Breivik family I am so sorry for your loss, he was the coolest, nicest, sweetest, funniest, best hearted man I have ever met. I could always count on him when I was down knew that he would do/say anything  to make me laugh.  He will be greatly missed by my family and I, and if you guys ever need anything you know where to find us.

I have known Ron my whole life. He was truly my favorite "cool guy" in the neighborhood. Ron lived across the steet from my family. He was so kind and had a heart as big as his smile. He was such an inspiration to me. I will always remember his good nature, laugh,and puma shoes. I loved him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Debbie,Hillary,Nate and Katie. Annie and I are so devastated at Rons passing our thoughts and prayers are with you!We will miss Ron sooo much!He was such a kindred spirit.We love your family!

Dear Debbie - I have so much regret for thinking tomorrow I'll call and get together with you guys.  I'm so sorry I put it off.  My tears, heart and love and prayers go out to you and the family.  He is so much of my high school memories, so many laughs with too short of time and  I have always cherished the friendship we have.  Phil and I will miss his humor, honesty and laugh.  We will miss the support,ideas and help he always gave us when we called.

Just want everyone to know...that Ron was a great man! We visited with each other at least once a week for several years, even though it may have been for a few minutes he made it feel that we knew each other for a lifetime. He will be truly missed...and I wish his family Blessings!

Ron was the best friend, husband, and dad.  He was a surrogate dad to our daughter, Kim, and could get away with giving her advice, like "You should get rid of that boyfriend," that even her own parents couldn't say.  
 
Ron always had a smile; I'll never forget that big booming voice.  I loved to see him at church wearing that Olympic pin on his lapel.  Ron would give his right arm for you.

He helped out our boys through rough times, taught them how to set a toilet, and shared his fresh moose kill with our family.

He will be sorely missed, and we want Hillary, Katie, Nate and Debbie to know how sorry we are for you loss. His death is a great loss to so many.  We love you!

Buddy,

I wish I could wake up and realize that hearing of your passing was just a very bad, very realistic dream. I would like to be able to call you and tell you that I had had a dream, that we could talk, and that I could hear you tell a funny story or make a funny comment and hear your laugh again. I feel so bad, and the prayer ... that I keep in my heart... is filled with hopes that your family will be comforted at such a difficult time.

I wish you a peaceful sojourn into life's next realm. I can't imagine that you'll do much resting as I'm sure there is a little boy's baseball or basketball team there that will have the best supporter ever, just like Oly's teams have had.

Thank you for the memories that I have. I hope you know, but don't know that you will ever realize what an influence for good and happiness you have been in the lives of so many people.

I love you Buddy,

John

I am so sad to know my fantastic cousin has left us. All of the Breiviks are praying for his family. He is loved .

Dear Debbie and kids,
We were so sad to hear about Ron's passing. Kurt has so many great memories of 'the guys.' We always talk about it to our kids and laugh at the good times they had. It has been years since we've done anything together, but we think of you often. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Love,
Kurt and Sarah Hoopes and family

I knew Ron and he was my friend.  I can't even begin to find the words for how sorry I am for your tragic loss.  Your Ron had a magnetic personality and was a light to those of us who worked in the offices at Jacobs.  His pride of his family shone through whenever he shared his stories of you and the kids.  You dont grieve alone...you are not alone.  He will be greatly missed by many.   - Denise Lescanec Madron (accounts payable, Jacobs, 2004-2006)

I am so sorry for your loss.  I grew up with Ron years ago and I have many fond memories of him driving all of us "kids" around in his little car.  He was always making us laugh.  I feel priviledged to have known him.

Debbie, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  May you find some comfort in knowing others are thinking about you and your children.  I pray you will find peace and comfort in the days to come.

I have known Ron for so long and will miss the phone calls and visits.  You can’t say that you meet people of the caliber of this man I am truly happy that I did get to know him.  With all the desert sunsets he loved out here I will always remember him.

Knowing I will see you again goes a long way toward making me unaffraid of leaving this world.  Until then, I will do my best to do you proud.  I can't imagine anyone ever loved their brother more than I love you.  See you on the other side and if you get a minute, say "hi" to John Lennon for me.

He always gave good answers in sunday school. I'll miss him.

Ronster, I can't tell you how much you meant to Cory & I.  You are truly one of my most favorite people in the world.  Rest in peace my friend.

Debbie I am so sorry for your loss, 
Ron was always kind to me and my boys. my condolences.
Angie

I have known Ron for so long and will miss the phone calls and visits.  You can’t say that you meet people of the caliber of this man I am truly happy that I did get to know him.  With all the desert sunrise’s he loved out here I will always remember him. 
 Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
of a man as a man, regardless of birth.

Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
to bring back a smile, to banish a tear?

Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
but how many were sorry when he passed away

Ron always could light up the room and will be dearly missed he always made my work day better when came in! my deepest sympathy to your family
Codi Letham

We are so sorry for you guys!  Ron was such a good person and you could always count on him for a laugh.  I can remember in the old "hood" when we all would play night games as teenagers.  We all had such a good time.  We will miss him.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Whit & Moni McQueen

Debbie and family:  My heart is broken today for your loss.  Every time I talked to Ron or saw him, he made me laugh. He was and is a wonderful person and will be surely missed by his loved ones and everyone else that knew him. I hope Ron and my Richard hook up in that wonderful peaceful place called Paradise so they can talk about old times. I'm sure Ron was happy to see his little Thomas. Now they can take care of each other. My deepest and sincerest condolences to you and yours.

A dark cloud has hovered over all of us this week as we learned of Ron's sudden passing,  and while our grief is deep,  I can't help but feel lucky to have counted myself as one of Ron's friends.  He truly was one of a kind and can be described as "one great guy".  His exuberance for all things will be a lasting legacy for us to carry on.  Debbie and family, please know we send our loving thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. 
Love from Ron and Karin Rohde Fife and family

Debbie I am so sorry for your loss, Ron was a great guy i am shocked he has passed. much love and respect
Angie Breivik

I am so sorry for your lose, I have only known Ron for a few years but he was always nice to me and always made a point to say hello. I will miss seeing his smiling face here at Jacobs and I wish you all the best.

Debbie and family:  Our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.  Ron was a great guy and would give you the shirt off his back.  I remember my first ice fishing trip to Deer Creek, with him, Brad and Ralph.   Ron, God be with you til we meet again.
