ln addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Bob Sartain, Tommy Ruth, and Douglas Eugene.

Ron was a proud and loving Father and is survived by three daughters: Elizabeth Ann Sartain (Charles), Brynn Sartain-Baca, and Shawnda Sartain (Bryan). Ron was also blessed as a Grandfather with five grandchildren: Shanna Ahrens, Desiree Klitzke (Riley), Derek Gauny, Deja Sartain-Holmes and Liliana Sandoval.

ln special recognition, Ron shared an extraordinary and loving bond with his granddaughter, Deja Sartain-Holmes, who was his bright ray of sunshine!

Ron had a special bond with his predeceased best friend, JB Bostic, and Esther Bostic, as well as a longtime friend, Jim Whitehead.

Ron was a man of God and had many longtime friends where he attended church for many years. A special word of gratitude for the Mountainside Church of Christ membership.
