Ron was born on Aug. 1, 1939, in Rolette, N.D., to Sigurd and Edna (Bjerkan) Holtan. After spending his early childhood in North Dakota and Minnesota, he moved with his family to Billings in 1948. He attended Broadwater Elementary, Lincoln Junior High, and graduated from Billings Senior High in 1957. On July 23, 1966, Ron married Jeanie (Hochhalter) Arnest. When he married Jeanie, he became an instant dad to her daughter, Lori Lee. Two years later, he officially adopted her and was a wonderful dad. His pet nickname for her was "Fred." Ron worked at several grocery stores until he was hired by the Billings Fire Department. He also worked part-time for Pierce RV. He retired as Captain from the Fire Department in 1989, following 23 proud years of service. Ron continued to work for Pierce RV until ill health forced him to retire. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, camping, woodworking and watching NASCAR, as well as football, especially when the Broncos won. He also enjoyed the many animals that would join his beloved Yorkie, Gretchen, in his beautiful back yard, including pheasants, bunnies, deer, and his recent favorite, "Earl the Squirrel." Ron is survived by his loving wife of 42 years, Jeanie; and his daughter, Lori, who will both miss him tremendously. Ron is also survived by his mother-in-law, Ida Hochhalter; brother-in-law, Don and Glenda Hochhalter; niece, Randi (Jim) Creitz and their daughters, Emma and Piper; as well as several cousins. He also leaves behind his loyal companion and special friend, Gretchen, his dog. Ron was preceded in death by his mom and dad; brother Orley; and father-in-law, Alvin Hochhalter. We love you so much and will miss you forever. We are thankful you are finally at peace. A special thanks to all the wonderful nurses and staff of Rocky Mountain Hospice for being there for us. Also to Dr. Kari Kale for her support during this difficult time. Memorials are suggested to Rocky Mountain Hospice of the charity of one's choice. Funeral services will be held at 1 p.m. on Thursday, March 5, at Michelotti-Sawyers Mortuary. Interment will follow at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
