Ron was born on April 10, 1938 in Frankfort, Indiana to Elmer and Emma (Russell) Sanders. He graduated from Frankfort High School and attended the University of Nebraska, Lincoln where he did what he loved the most, playing golf. Ron also graduated with a Business Administration Degree. On August 11, 1961, Ron joined the US Army and was stationed in Heidelberg, Germany. In Heidelberg, He helped design a golf course and still to this day, holds the record score on the course. After being honorably discharged from the Army, Ron spent his career as a National Sales manager for JWC Environmental, helping to design and sell waste water treatment systems for hospitals and federal prisons. When he retired, he served as a Starter and Marshall at DeerCreek Country Club and made many new friends and golfing buddies.

Ron loved playing golf, fishing, working in the yard, riding his riding lawn mower, helping on household projects of any kind and spending time with his daughter, Jennie and son-in-law Greg. He had a very quick wit and could always make someone laugh. He loved watching John Wayne movies and listening to country music.

Ron is survived by the love of his life, his wife, Ann, of 56 years; his daughter, Jennie (Greg) Chambon; grandchildren Hallie (Drew) Patterson, Gregory Chambon Jr., Clayton Chambon, and Sean McCann Sanders; siblings, Linda Christensen, Robert Sanders and Kay Sanders; and many nieces and nephews.

Ron was pre-deceased by his only son Jon R. Sanders, Jr. There is no doubt that his son was waiting for him in heaven, with a set of golf clubs and ready to go play 18 holes.
