Ronald E Klapperich's Obituary
Our Lord opened Heaven's Door and Ron passed through, with his wife, Roberta, and step-daughter, Amber, by his side. Ron was born in Aberdeen, So Dakota, and is survived by his beloved wife, Roberta. He had children; Mike (Kim) and Brenda (Derrick) and four grandchildren. Then later in life he added family members; Sheila (Steve Jr.), Allen (Aaliyah) and Amber (Justin) and five grandchildren. He is also survived by siblings, Dolores, Joan, Denis (Jim) and Keith, as well as a large extended family. Preceding him in death were his parents, Laurence and Neva, and siblings; Joyce, Mary, Larry, Dale, Vicki and Lowell. After graduating from Renton HS (1965), he joined the US Army and served proudly in Vietnam. Ron was a retired Teamster Local 313 and Shop Steward, and landscape business owner. His life's desire was to be a farmer, and this business brought him close to the earth. He had a full life and enjoyed hunting, was a founding member of his car club 'Jus A nother Car Club' and loved trips with his wife in their motor home. Ron was a big man with a big heart, who will be missed by many. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to American Legion.
