Ron's family came from Spanish Fork, Utah in 1903, settling in the Taber area. Ron was born in Taber on January 31, 1928, the seventh of eight children born to William and Mae Valgardson. He spent all of his life in Taber where he went to school. In his early twenties, he moved to Calgary where he lived with his sister LaRue while attending SAIT to complete a welding course, he then returned to Taber. Ronald and Connie were married January 18, 1962. Many good memories were made on their farm. They were blessed with three children, whom he loved raising and watching them grow. Ron loved his family and was even more excited when grandkids started coming. He enjoyed taking care of the yard, his beautiful flowers and planting a garden. He loved taking trips to Creston with his family. Ron truly loved his job, always checking his crops and making sure everything was just right. His cattle were something the whole family was involved in. Some of the best memories come from branding day, where everyone would gather and participate in some kind of task. This is where any first timers learned cattle talk. The ranch was his favourite spot to be. As a young man he talked about having the sheep down there, checking and caring for them. When Ronald was older he started a cow calf herd at the ranch, running a thousand head feedlot up until BSE. This is where he took many rides, with family at his side checking the cattle. Ron's family farmed in the Taber area for over 100 years, his passing is the end of an era. He was a quiet, reserved man, but to his family he was an honest, hardworking man with a big heart, who spoke few words. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He truly lived the best life and a good life. He loved the land and life. We love you to the ranch and back, till we ride the prairie with you again.
