Ronald (Ron) Raul Denman passed away on March 21, 2024. He was born on Oct. 30, 1951, to Leona and Raymond, who preceded him in death.
He graduated from Centralia High School in 1970. He was a staff sergeant in the Air Force. Ron enjoyed spending time with his grandkids, working on his cars, feeding the cows, collecting and shooting firearms and overall staying busy.
He retired after 20-plus years at Lakeside in 2018. Ron was the type of man who would drop everything if anyone ever needed help. Everyone loved his dry sense of humor and generosity. He never failed to bring his wife Darlene lunch and was very popular at Twin Transit for it.
Ron is survived by his wife, Darlene Denman; his children, Nic (Missy) Denman, Randy (Jen) Denman, Rob Denman, Cory (Cheyenne) Denman, Colby Fitzgerald and Justin (Nathalie) Stoeck; grandchildren, Che, Arlo, Marley, Kyler, Jamie, Alabama, Hunter, Mia, Jenzon and Kylie; and siblings Robin, Burley and Ray Denman.
Ron’s funeral will be held at 1:30 p.m. May 18, 2024, with military honors at Greenwood Memorial Park cemetery. A celebration of life potluck will be held afterwards at American Legion Grant Hodge Post 17, 111-1/2 W. Main St., Centralia, WA, 98531.
