Ronald Eugene Morton, 79

Ronald Eugene Morton born June 17, 1943, passed peacefully at his home surrounded by his loved ones on Oct. 11, 2022.

Ron enjoyed life, adored and loved his wife, Mischelle and his beautiful daughters, Debbie, Rhonelle and Laci. Ron also loved his family including three brothers (Kenny, Raymond and Donny) and sister (Nona) which he had great memories with. Not only did he love and enjoy his family, Ron enjoyed riding his horses to the highest peak to find the “Big One” and fishing anywhere from various lakes to the beautiful Sea of Cortez in Mexico. Water-skiing was one of his passions (“Hit It!”), not only the sport, but teaching his family and friends his own technique.

Ron has always been a hard worker. He was never afraid to tackle tough situations and he enjoyed every day of his life to the end. We all remember him joking, even through hard times. He will be missed by many and loved forever.

Ron worked hard building his successful business, Lifetime Roofing & Siding in Kellogg, Idaho, for 18 years. Due to his success, Ron was able to retire early and enjoy his life.

He is survived by his wife, Mischelle Morton; three daughters, Debbie Julius (Tann) of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Rhonelle Morton of Spokane, Wash., and Laci Morton (Taylor) of Watford, N.D.; two brothers, Kenny Morton (Heidi) of Spokane and Raymond Morton of Silverton, Idaho; nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by mother Rose Livermore, father Raymond Morton, sister Nona Krause, son Todd Morton, brother Donny Taysom and grandson DJ Southwick.

There will be a celebration of life at a later date.
