Ronald “Ron” James Sink, 53, of Osburn, Idaho, passed away while doing what he loved the most snowmobiling in the mountains on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2021, in Wallace, Idaho. Ron was born on Nov. 24, 1967, in Puyallup, Wash., a son of the late George and Eilleen (Ortiz) Sink.

Ron married the love of his life Terri Thacker on May 24, 2016, in Las Vegas, Nev. He will be remembered as the king of sarcasm, as well as a friendly and outgoing person. Ron loved nothing more than spending time around his family and friends.
