January 14, 1950 ~ May 5, 2025

The family of Ronald Howard McConnell sadly announces his peaceful passing on May 5, 2025. Born on January 14, 1950, in Elk Point, Ron spent his early years in Ashmont and made his home in Coronado, just north of Gibbons, throughout his working life and into retirement.

Ron is lovingly remembered by his wife, Peggy, who cherished their life together. He was a devoted father to Chad (Rozanna), Andy (Amy), Patrick (Chrisy), Ted, and Todd (Sam), and his love for them was evident in his efforts to provide for his family. He found deep satisfaction in ensuring their well-being.

Ron’s greatest joys blossomed in the presence of his grandchildren: Grace, Lucas, Josh, Keegan, Ethan, Shyann, Riley, and Makayla. Even the furry, four-legged members of the family brought him immense delight. He treasured the times they were near.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that you plant a tree in his memory, a living tribute to Ron.

An open-house-style gathering to commemorate his life will be held on
