He was known by many names, My honey, Ronski, Padre, Dad, Maynard, Me Ol’ Partner, Wunka Won, Uncle Ronald and his favorite Pop Pop. Ron loved his family and worked tirelessly to make sure they always had everything they could ever want or need. He greatly enjoyed traveling, seeing new things and especially showing the kids new places and having new experiences together. He was the most loyal and punctual employee a company could ask for. He did not like surprises! He enjoyed positions that he had the consistency in knowing pretty much what the day would hold. Ron had a quick wit and was brilliant with trivia. He had an amazing sense of humor,and an even better laugh! He was passionate about music and had a very diverse taste in genres. Ron spent countless hours on drives going through the lake, where he found the most peace and answers to things that were weighing on him. He also very much appreciated and spent many evenings enjoying the sunset. All of these things and so much more will be missed deeply by all that knew him!
He is proceeded in death by his parents Dale and Jane Brashear.

His siblings Linda Allen, her daughter Shannon Cox; Pamela Knapp and sons Jared and Jacob and brother Russell Brashear.

8 Jul 2024What a guy! Ron was a gentle spirit and loved to laugh and be with his friends. Trish, remember before you two were married ole Aaron talked you in to coming along to the Iowa country side to paint our entire house? You all bunked several nights on the red shag carpet in the family room. We enjoyed keeping in touch with Christmas cards and kept up on your family news through Aaron. Ron always showed up for the poker game nights too. We loved seeing him and getting a hug or two.
We loved doing a zoom talk with him when he ended up in the ER instead of at a poker game at Aaron’s with the whole gang. We each got to talk to him and you! WE all CHERISHED those moments with both of you. We know the Lord has very special plans to keep Ron busy in heaven. Sending our love to you and your family.
