Ron is survived by his mother, Marilyn Patricia “Roberta” (nee Shurtleff) McLauchlan. He was the beloved father and ”Daddy-O “to Kaitlyn Louise McLauchlan (his special Katie-O); cherished Grandpa Ron to his grandsons, Conner James and Cameron William McLauchlan, and beloved brother of Janet (Thomas) MacLauchlan-Hummel. He was an Uncle to Danny Hummel and Nicole (Joshua) Hummel Guswiler and Great-Uncle to her children; Max, Eva and Jack Guswiler. Ron also was a forever friend and past partner to Michelle Louise McLauchlan.
Ron was predeceased by his father Ronald David McLauchlan and brother William “Billy” Charles McLauchlan.
Ron had many close and cherished friends, even some from his childhood years, and enjoyed spending time with them and their family members, providing help and support when they needed it most. Ron worked for several years at Vesco Oil Corporation in the Car Bright Division in Southfield and most recently for Becker Landscaping in Roseville. He enjoyed music and spent many hours during his younger years attending concerts and was a lighting technician for local rock bands. Ron also enjoyed photography and spending time up north enjoying nature. He spent many hours sitting by the bonfire until late into the night. Ron attended numerous car shows and had a special interest in classic and muscle cars, which he shared with his brother Billy.
A memorial service to celebrate Ron’s life will be held at a later date and time. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be made to the Arthritis Foundation-Michigan.
Ron, we will always carry your memory in our hearts.
Always There
By: Emma Marie Etwell
When you remember me, Please do not weep.
My body may not be there. It has chosen to sleep.
I'm not that far away. My soul lives on,
Looking down, watching over You and everyone.
And when you feel sad Just remember
That my spirit has its arms around you.
And on those special days, Times that you wish I could see,
That cool breeze flowing past you... Well, that will be me,
So don't be sad. Have no fear. God has taken me under his wing,
But I'll always be near. I still watch you Every minute, every day.
My love and soul are with you, And that's where they will stay.
