Ronald Dean Akers, son of Dale and Leita (Richardson) Akers, was born on February 16, 1956 in Lake City, Iowa. He attended Walnut High School. At the age of 17 he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps where he was stationed in California and Guam. He was blessed with four children: Ranea, Reita, Cheri, and Ronald Jr.
After his discharge he lived in North Carolina working in furniture factories until an accident with a buzz saw ended that career. He always enjoyed auctions and was a wheeler dealer. He was always on site for auctions to help in whatever way he could, it was truly his passion. When Ron's health declined he moved back to Avoca to be closer to family. He enjoyed family gatherings, playing cards, watching tv, and helping others any way he was able.
