Ron graduated US Grant High School in 1979, and attended OCCC. He moved to Norman in the early 1980's, where he worked for Wright's Grocery as a store manager. It was there that Ron met the love of his life, Mary Touchstone, and they were married on September 4, 1987.
He was an ardent physical fitness buff, which soon translated into ownership of Precision Fitness Equipment, located in Oklahoma City. Upon closing the store years later, Ron was successful in other business opportunities, and finally moved to his current position of revenue manager for AT&T.
Ron was an avid OU football fan, and loved to workout and play golf. He was a great story teller with a passion for life, yet with no passion greater than that for his family; Mary, Grant, and his little brown eyed girl, Madison. He will be greatly missed by family, friends and co-workers.
Ron was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer, in March 2010, having never smoked a day in his life, and spent the remainder of his days relentlessly fighting the disease, uplifting and inspiring all that knew him. He is survived by his wife Mary, son Grant and daughter Madison; Mother, Susie Powell, of Moore Oklahoma; brother, Randy Powell of Plano, Texas; nephew, Matt Powell of Oklahoma City. Ron was preceded in death by father Arthur, sister Rhonda, his maternal, and paternal Grandparents.
Celebration of his life will be Monday, February 7, 3:30 pm at First Baptist Church of Noble. Final resting place is Noble I00F cemetery. Services are under the direction of Primrose Funeral Service. For more information, please visit primrosefuneralservice.com.
A memorial fund, in memory of Ron, has been established at the Republic National Bank of Oklahoma. Contributions can be made at any location.
