Obituary for Ronald William Valkenaar
Ronald William Valkenaar entered the kingdom of heaven on March 9, 2018 at the age of 87 after a brief illness. He was born in Zion, Illinois to William and Leah Valkenaar. Despite being born with a physical handicap, Ronald was strong and determined and lived a full life. He loved the Lord Jesus Christ and his family with all of his heart. He was preceded in death by his parents and brother Lew Valkenaar. He is survived by his loving children, Craig Valkenaar of Durango, CO, Rhonda Aronis (Chris) of Vacaville, CA, and Andre Valkenaar of Durango, Co. He is also survived by his beautiful grandchildren, Alexis, Jake, and Cody, his brother David Valkenaar, his sister Peg Gibson and numerous nieces and nephews. Dad, we will miss your quiet strength, your honesty, your amazing smile and laugh, your fantastic cooking and your never-ending love. Though we are deeply saddened by your passing, we will remember the good times and know that we will see you again someday in heaven. A celebration of life will take place this summer.
