The son of Ronald James Waldo and Janet Kaye Bown-Webb, Ron was born on September 15,

1971, in Des Moines, Iowa. On September 22, 2001, he was united in marriage to LaRonna

Johnson.

If you were lucky enough to have Ron befriend you then you knew first-hand how dedicated he

was to make sure you were not just a friend, you were family, and because of that there wasn't

anything he wouldn't do for you.

Ron started his career as a tow truck driver which developed into a long career as a repo man.

In recent years he wanted a more relaxing job and decided to become a truck driver. Ron spent

the last couple of years hauling a tanker, just like his dad.

Ron lived in several places throughout his life, finally settling down in Colfax in 2005. In 2011 he

joined the Colfax Fire Department. Through the fire department he became an instructor and

enjoyed teaching new members everything he knew about the fire service and enjoyed helping

with fire safety week at the elementary school. He had many hobbies over the years which

included: racing, boating, biking, camping, and cooking. He really loved sitting around a bonfire

with his friends.

Those left to honor his memory include his beloved wife, LaRonna; his babies, Halligan and

Rosco; his son, Brandon (Haley) Davis; grandchildren, Andrew, Addisan, Gabriel, and Lilly;

brother-in-law: Scott (Melanie) Johnson, his siblings, Sherry (Brian) Edwards, Ted (Tricia)

Mikesell, and Daniel Durham; his nieces and nephews. Preceding Ron in death were his

parents and a brother, David Durham.
