Ronald “Ron” Kay Nocktonick, 76, passed away Tuesday, May 2, 2023, after a courageous battle with ALS.
Ron was born in Holton, Kansas to Adam and Margie Nocktonick on April 25, 1947. After graduating from Seaman High School in 1965, Ron was drafted by the U.S. Army and served nobly in the Vietnam War.
Ron was a man of many trades. He was the proud owner and operator of Nocktonick Drywall and Handyman services until his retirement in 2021. He was an avid Harley-Davidson rider, enjoyed his time at the American Motorcyclist Association Races, playing music and traveling.
Ron came from humble beginnings, and his success in life will be remembered by how much he appreciated and how well he maintained everything he owned…as well as his BBQ beans.
His greatest joy was his family. He was a devoted and loving husband, father, and grandfather. He will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by his family and many friends.
Ron is survived by his wife, Denise Nocktonick; children, Greg Nocktonick, Tava Saia (Shane), Daniel Hall, Erin Klapprodt (Joshua), and Melissa Fannan (Mason); siblings, Adam Nocktonick and Faye Womack; twelve grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents, Adam and Margie Nocktonick.
A celebration of Ron’s life will be held at Lucas Funeral Home in Grapevine, Texas on May 27th, 2023 at 10 a.m.
