Ronald Roland Herndon (DOB 11/04/1956)
Our loving father and friend Ron Herndon passed away on April 1, 2015. He was a long time resident of Townsend MT. Ron was a free spirit who loved adventure and the outdoors. His favorite things to do were creek fishing, camping, hiking Mount Baldy and snow skiing. Ron loved his pets Irma Cat and Special Cali Alley Cat. He was especially fond of his dog and long time companion Eddie. The room was always alive with fun and laughter when Ron was hanging out with friends and family. One of the best qualities was his huge heart. He valued his time working with the elderly. The love and care he showed for others was undeniable.

To the family,
I am so very sorry to learn of the loss of Ron. He was friends with my brother Ron Graham when they were young. He was always one of my favorites. He was always so soft spoken and genuine. I will remember him fondly. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I am grateful for the two years I was in high school with Ron. Playing sports together, senior trip, beers in the limestone hills and classes that we shared. I’m very sad for everyone who knew Ron, especially his family. God bless you all and rest in peace Ron.

He was my husband and best friend. He took me throuth a very difficult time in my life; I lost a husband. He helped me gain myself back to who I was. He was a magnific person. He and i sat up late at night and wrote a book; called “Looker’s Window”. He was very creative,and very imaginative about life in general. He loved to ski, and teach skiing and snowboarding; he did at the “Great Divide”; he talked fondly of Kevin ad Nyla who run the place. I watched him ski the year before his death….he was like a “kid”…enjoying what he called ” riding the white” as was coined by him in the Montana Mag..he loved people…he worked with elderly at Touchmark (Waterford) then Rosetta…he enjoyed helping others; he was a GREAT man and will be missed by both family and those he served. He also worked with Special Olypics…loved them all. I have been touched by his GREATNESS…as so many others…it is not too often that we get a chance to be with around a shining example of God’s perfect Love…rest in peace, my love…so happy I knew you..no one can ever take your place in my heart or mind…10 years of love…see you on the “other” side..
