Ronald R. Cree
November 1962 - March 2018
Ronald R. Cree, 55, long-time resident of Colorado Springs, passed away unexpectedly March 25, 2018. Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Ron graduated from UCCS. He was a prolific reader and established author. He was a world traveler, but his favorite place was Garden of the Gods.

Preceded in death by Ronald E. Otting (father), Ron is survived by mother, Victoria A. Otting; son, Gabriel; grandchildren, Angel, Jasmine, and Lucas; siblings, Jennifer, Kelly, David, Brian and Kevin; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Ron's life will be celebrated at the Colorado Springs Marriott Saturday April 21st, from 10 a.m. to noon. Friends are invited to stop by to share their memories of Ron. In lieu of flowers the family would appreciate donations to the American Heart Association.
