Clarence Konkel

Clarence Ronald Konkel a.k.a. “Ron” was born on December 23, 1925 in Elizabeth, Colorado and passed away on April 25, 2021 in Issaquah, Washington.

Ron was known for his stories that were based on almost 95 years of his personal memories including his love of God’s truth, his family, his country – the United States of America – and his dear friends.

It was always the simple things with his family that were Ron’s priority that included having a home open to all and Christian fellowship with many friends.

Surrounded by his children, Ron’s repeated last words were about love, thankfulness, and a place of peace.  That is exactly how Ron lived and died.  Ron we love you and are thankful for who you were as dad, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend.

Ron is preceded in death by his wife, Ada-Mae; parents Clarence and Grace; sister Helen Konkel; sister Joyce Ramey and spouse RG Ramey; and many aunts and uncles.  Ron is survived by his son Ken and spouse Ana Teresa of Montrose, Colorado; his son Gary of Centennial, Colorado; his daughter Karen of Snoqualmie, Washington; his grandchildren Ashley Olson and spouse Evan of Milliken, Colorado; Austen Konkel and spouse Krystal of Castle Rock, Colorado; and Preston Konkel of Castle Rock, Colorado; and many nephews, nieces, and cousins.
