He was born in Minot in 1948 to Earl and Evelyn Keel, and lived in Coleharbor. Ron went to primary and high school in Turtle Lake ND before studying Pharmacy at NDSU in Fargo. After graduating with honors, he went to work as a pharmacist for St. Luke’s Hospital (later Meritcare and Sanford), where he retired.
Ron was a loving father to Ryan and Todd, who will miss him and the time they were able to spend together. Road trips and collecting comics will always be fond memories. Ron and his wife Sherri enjoyed traveling and spending time together at the lake.

How blessed we are to have people in our lives who make us hurt so much when they leave us. Cousin Ron was such a person. I pray that God will comfort all his family and loved ones at this sad time, knowing that HE will. We spent a lot of time together and will many other cousins as we were all growing up in the rural Coleharbor area. Even though Ron was nearly 8 years younger than me, we shared so many good times! Rest in Peace, Ron, we will always love and miss you, untill we meet again!
We met Ron through work at St Luke’s and playing softball together. Just a great guy and always smiling. There was not a thing you could say bad about him. May he rest in peace and and share the excitement of Bison football.
