"Ronald Lynn Broaddus of Fredericksburg passed away on Monday January 14th at his home at the age of 79 years.
As we celebrate the incredible life of Ron Broaddus, we remember how he was bigger than life itself! He led a dynamic, exciting, and eventful one. He was born August 15, 1939 in Holdenville Ok. adopted at birth, by Speck and Grace Broaddus, whom he always considered his loving parents. He lost his mother at age 12, and became independent, resourceful and driven from a young age because of hardship. He joined the Navy at the age of 18 and married Anita Riddle. They moved to Calif to seek a better life, realize their dreams and start a family. After his discharge at 22 yrs old from the Navy, Ron began his Real Estate Career with huge visions, a small budget and the ability to work very HARD. He eventually worked his way up to designing and developing mobile home communities in Southern Calif. Many of you that know him, have experienced his charisma and charm which attracted truly great people to his life that believed in him, mentored him and wanted to see him succeed, and that he did. As a younger man, he purchased Cedar Hills Farm on El Camino Del Norte in Rancho Santa Fe Calif. Ron pursued an affiliation with the Masonic Lodge, being from a long line of Masons, and to this day is the youngest Worshipful Master ever installed in the state of California. He eventually became the Grand Orator of the Grand Lodge of California and Hawaii.
In a sad chapter and one of the regrets of his life, Ron and Anita were divorced. Soon after, Ron met Debbie and they married in 1981. A true love story that lasted for 38 wonderful years. Years of devotion and respect. They moved to Sisters Oregon. Ron and Debbie created a magnificent equestrian development/community, Cascade Meadow Ranch which is considered the best of it's kind in the country. After 17 years in Oregon, their journey took them to Julian Ca. and on to Fredericksburg TX in 2003 where they opened Cornerstone Properties and Ron worked up until nearly his very last day on this earth. First and foremost, Ron believed in the blessed hope of eternal life with his Lord and Savior. He was a wonderful husband, father, Brother Mason and friend.
Ron is survived by his wife, Debbie Bray Broaddus of Fredericksburg TX, his three children, Kelly Broaddus of Flagstaff AZ, Kim Shurley of Loveland CO, Ronald Todd Broaddus of Holdenville Ok., 10 grandchildren, and 22 great grandchildren.
