December 26, 1945 February 6, 2019
Ron of Colorado Springs, CO passed into the loving arms of his savior Jesus Christ on February 6, 2019. He was born in Hampton, VA on December 26, 1945 to Albert and Hazel Wooge.

Ron served four years with distinction in the US Navy as part of Beach Jumper Unit One. During his tours in Vietnam he conducted psychological operations from River Patrol Boats on all waterways in country. During operations, he was subjected to routine enemy fire and close quarters combat. His bravery during the Vietnam War earned him numerous medals and commendations for his dedication and bravery. The discipline and patriotism he learned in the Navy never left him, as friends and family will attest.

My Prayers to you Carolyn and family. I've missed you and Ron but because of being a care giver have been unable to come to Colorado Springs. Ron, was always like a brother to me. He, Ken Thompson, and I joined the military on the last day of August 1964. I will forever miss my brother Ron for the rest of my life. My Condolenses to you and your family. With Sincere, Love Darrell Brown.
