It is with great sadness that I tell you of Ron Maxwell's passing. After high school Ron attended UNR, was a business owner, worked in management for several companies, and retired from the City of Sparks. He gave his time willingly, volunteering in Mexico and Papua New Guinea building houses through his church. He was quick to give a hand to friends and acquaintances no matter how busy he was.I met Ron when his family moved in next door to us in 1963 and we became steadfast friends from that point on. Our kids grew up together and our families were wonderfully intertwined. I will miss him dearly but hold on to the many memories we created over the past 56 years.
