When I was little Ron & Kathy were my neighbors. I remember always being outside playing when Ron came home from work. He would always stop and say Hey Linds!! He will be missed so much. Praying for all my family! Love you all
I have known Ron for a long time Ron was the hardest working guy I have ever met and he would do anything for you I cannot believe he is gone he will be missed by so many people love you Ron say Hello to my daddy in Heaven
Randy, you were a great friend to him for many many years. Im sorry for your loss.
Dad also team roped, was a butcher, propane delivery man, Farrier, security guard and he tested cows milk for the state of MI. I am proud to be the son of such a great man. I hope I can live up to his expectations and continue to make him proud. I love you Dad.
Your dad loved you so much and couldn’t have been any prouder of you!
I’ve only had the pleasure of knowing Ron a few years, but I could tell right from the start that this man was a ‘good’, ‘honest’ man. I felt right at home with Ron and Kathy. Good ‘down home’ people they both were. Yes he liked to talk… but I liked listening to him. He talked of family in Michigan as well as here, had stories of his childhood, gardening… and just life in general. He made me laugh. He liked the simple life, and he loved his family… I’ll miss him dearly, especially around holidays and birthdays as the family would get together to celebrate… as with mixed families… they welcomed all. I hope that Kathy and all of his children and grandchildren find comfort in all of the memories he has given them… all the sincere guidance, along with the laughs and the love he has brought to each and every one of you. He’s gone too soon… I wish I could have had a last good-bye and a big bear hug from him. Memories… we have his memories. He was a helluva guy… and he still lives on… in our hearts.
one thing I forgot! He was an EMT and a Fireman for many years
Ron was the best papaw to my son. He was the best friend that Wesley could always count on to be there. They shared so many good memories together and nobody will ever fill his shoes. Thank you Ron for being such an amazing role model to everybody and your smile and laugh will be greatly missed! Prayers to all that new and loved him!
Wesley was more than a grandson to Dad. Wesley was his world and he loved that boy more than anything! Please hug him tight daily and remind him that in papaws eyes…the sun set on Wesley! He was always so very proud of him. Love to you and yours
Back in the day (50+ years ago) we teenagers all belonged to 4-H clubs, and showed our horses at the area horse shows. Back then we weren’t afraid of getting hurt, (not the Liability laws of today), and these shows had contest events like Scoop Shovel racing, Pick-up your buddy racing, and what we would call very dangerous sports today. Ron, Dave Feldpausch, Butch Jonas, Tim Cross, and lots of others, were some of those rough and tumble guys. And then when the Jackson County Fair happened, these same guys stayed all night to watch over our horses, helping out the Sheriffs posse. Then after we all married and started having our own little buckaroos, we didn’t see too much of each other, but kept in contact. Ron will be remembered as a good friend, and a fun guy to be around. His children will have a lot to do, to keep his memory alive–there is so much to remember!! Ron–show them up there in Heaven the Cowboy way!! Butch & Dianne G. Jonas
Well I knew Ron by growing up with his step daughter Vicki. Her and I were best friends. When I was over at Vicki’s, Ron and Kathy treated me like one of their of own. Ron was always working hard to provide for his family and was always kind hearted. I was in shock when I heard this news but I will never let the great memories fade of him. U couldn’t ask for a better man. I also want to say that Kathy, Vicki, Jeff, and Shannon, all of u are in my prayers. I love u all!!
I remember Ron well. I remember when Ron went to one of Concord Community Camp trip to Ludington, MI. We were playing capture the flag. Ron got to running too fast and went rolling and tumbling down a steep sand dune, hit some drift wood . Finally stoping near the water, just in front of Mr.(Marv) Blumenthal’s feet.
My favorite memories of papaw was just being around and hearing all his stories there was never a dull moment around him papaw you will be missed by all but we know you are in a better place love you Ron Hall
Me to Tyler I could sit and listen to your papaws stories all day long he was a very interesting man he has done so much in his life I remember he could be busy doing something around the house and would stop right in the middle of something just to help somebody that needed his help he would never say no im sorry I don’t have the time he would help anybody anytime no matter what it was he loved you boys so much but you know that don’t you Tyler
there are sometimes people in our lives who we connect with then move on. as it was with Ron and I. but i have never forgotten and always wondered about him as time went by. he had left a positive impression here. he was a DHIA milktester in Jackson co Mi at the time. we spent a lot of time talking and sharing our lifes stories. sometimes his kids came and played with ours while we were in the barn. i treasure that time spent with him and the memories of a simpler time. thank you Ron. and to his family…my deepest sympathy. sincerely, dale and sue kellenberger
Thank you Dale and Sue, my times on your farm are not forgotten and dad and I have rememiniced a few times about you and your family. Thank you for your kind thoughts
Ron was an amazing man. I will never forget how he always called me ‘Donna Mae’ (although my name is Donna Kay!) I feel blessed to have had him in my life and I will miss him!
Ron was my first boyfriend back in my 4-H horse showing days. What a good look’in cowboy!!! He was so sweet, it broke my heart when we didn’t see each other anymore. He was a gentleman and was loved by everyone he met. He was a genuine man, loved life, and loved the ‘cowboy way’. RIP, Ron, you will be missed by many.
In the past 7 or 8 years Ron made it a point to come up to Michigan and stay for a week or so at our house. He tried to do it in the winter so he and Jon could go ice fishing. I know Jon will treasure the memories of those times. It was a nice time for me as well. Ron and I got up way before Jon did in the morning so we’d have coffee and sometimes breakfast and spend time chatting about whatever came to mind. I’m going to miss those times. I’ve been in the Hall family, basically since I was 15 years old, so I know Ron thought of me as a daughter, he treated me like a daughter. He’s probably the closest thing to a father that I’ve ever had. I won’t forget all the memories. I just wish we had been able to make more.
We are so very sorry to hear this news and our prayers go for all the family to find comfort in the resurrection hope as we will welcome them all back into our arms. Love & Prayers Fagan family
Although I didn’t get to see my grandpa a lot I will always remember how warm and loving he was to me. I loved when he would come to visit and tell us stories for hours. I was so excited when he came all the way to Jackson for my wedding day! One of my fond memories of him is when I was young and he was visiting us and we went to the county fair. Nobody would ride the ferris wheel with me except him. I thought he was the coolest grandpa ever to ride the ferris wheel with me.
Grandpa loved you sis!
I didn’t get a chance to spend a lot of time with him, however I remember how nice he was. He loved to tell stories, and he was such a good storyteller! I remember how much he cared about family, and my Wife Danielle and her Father and Mother, Jon and Michelle Hall. On his visits to Michigan I could tell he really enjoyed spending time with family.
Uncle Ron was fun, hardworking, and loving. I looked forward to every visit at the Hall house growing up. He put me on a horse for the first time. He told me everything would be ok when I smashed my cousins go-cart into a tree. I remember thinking he looked like Mac Davis. I’ve been missing him for years and truly wish I had made an effort to go visit. Everyone should be so blessed to have an Uncle Ron.
Becky, we all loved him so much. He was so fun! He loved making people happy. I am overwhelmed with emotion right. I feel like I’m 5 again just waiting and waiting for daddy to come back home.
I have an overwhelming amount of memories I will treasure always. Dad was always down in the barn with the horses..always knew where to find him if I needed to talk. Dad knew everyone, everyone knew Ron. We always comment on what a ‘great guy’ someone was once they pass but dad has been an exception. I have been told many times by many people for many years what a good man he was!! I am so very proud to be Ron’s daughter.
