Ronald P. Newgard, age 60, passed away on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 at Northwest Healthcare in Kalispell, Montana. He was born May 3, 1949 in Kalispell, Montana to Walfred and Mildred (Koski) Newgard.
Ron lived and worked his entire life in the Flathead Valley, enjoying everything outdoors and in. He graduated from Flathead High School in 1967. On January 2, 1968 Ron married his high school sweetheart, Susan Huso.
Over their 40 years of marriage they took several cruses with their son Brad, Pearl and friends. Ronnie was an avid skier both on Flathead Lake and Big Mountain. Flipping burgers, and driving his little red Shriner mobile in parades across the state and fundraising efforts were so important to him. He did them with pride and always a smile and a Thank You.
Ron was the only one on the Search and Rescue who had to be rescued, but if anyone needed anything it was “Ronnie to the Rescue”. Ron was a hard worker and excellent provider. In May 2003, Ron achieved his goal (with the help of Sid Young), and became the proud owner of his wooden boat, The Cherry Bond.
Thanks for the “JOY RIDE” Ron, Full throttle ahead!
Ron is survived by a son; Bradley Newgard of Bigfork, MT, his mother; Mildred Newgard and a brother; B.J. Newgard both of Kalispell, MT, also his mother-in-law, Pearl S. Huso.
