Ronald Anthony Marsall, age 73, passed away suddenly while enjoying time with his family on New Year’s Eve. He was born in Anaconda, Montana on January 9, 1935 to Anton and Theresa (Ehlman) Marsall.
He moved to Seattle and joined the Marine Corps in 1953. He later moved back to Montana, and in 1964 worked on the re-construction of Highway 93 through Lakeside, where he met and married Sandra K. Herron. Together they had three children, Jeff, Kelly and Tracy.
Ron worked mostly in construction as a heavy equipment operator. He was also a top notch ranch hand and loved working with cattle and horses. He was a very generous person and was always glad to give of what he had. You could always count on him to lend a hand whenever it was needed. He lived a lot of life and knew many things that we are grateful he imparted to others.
In 1994 Ron met Cheryl Williams who became his best friend and companion. The other loves in his life were hunting, fishing, his family, (especially his grandchildren) his cat, and telling stories about all of the above.
Ron was preceded in death by his brother Al, his sister Shirley, and his son Mark.
