Taylor, Ronald Dennis (1946? - 9 JUL 2018)

Ronald Dennis Taylor, of Ladysmith, died on Monday, July 9, 2018 at Abbott Hospital in Minneapolis, Minn. He was 72 years old.

Ron was born in 1946, in Circle Back, Texas, to Robert and Emma (Hicks) Taylor. As a young man, Ron was an avid horseman, training race horses and competing in steer wrestling and team roping. He had a very successful career in the meat packing industry and is fondly remembered as a respected coworker and friend by many in the meat business.

He was an outdoorsman his whole life, moving to Wisconsin from Colorado after retirement to spend more time hunting and fishing with his friends. He was a proud member of the Bruce Blue Hills Lions.

Ron is survived by his son, Robert (Iris) of West Des Moines, Iowa; his son Edward (Sarah) of Modesto, Calif.; seven grandchildren; his sister, Gayle (Cletus) Hammonds of Morton, Texas; his brother, Jerry (Jeannie) Taylor of Atlanta, Ga.; and his sister-in-law, Sherrie Taylor of Dallas, Texas.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Ethel and Joy and his brothers, Bob and Larry.

A celebration of Ron's life with his family and friends will be held from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15 at JS Supper Club in Ladysmith.

Nash-Jackan Funeral Home is assisting the family.
