Ron was born on November 26, 1944 in Marshfield to Willard and Lucille (Henseler) Steltenpohl. He graduated from Marshfield Senior High School in 1962 and went on to serve in the Army National Guard until 1968. He was united in marriage to JoAnn Bubolz on July 16, 1966. They celebrated 60 years of marriage this past July.
Ron worked at Stratford Homes, Marshfield Book & Stationary, ADT, and the Marshfield Fire Department for 27 years – where he retired as lieutenant. He considered his fellow firefighters family, forming bonds that extended beyond the fire department.
Ron loved boating and traveling with his wife and family and enjoyed many years of retirement. A skilled handyman and natural problem solver, he could fix just about anything and never turned down a request for help. He was active at Immanuel Lutheran Church, where he volunteered in many capacities, including maintenance, ushering, counting money, and overseeing the cemetery for many years. Ron also served as an election inspector at his polling place for numerous years.
He is survived by his wife, JoAnn, son, Paul John Steltenpohl of Stevens Point, sister, Pamela (Melvin) Smith, brother, Michael (Lisa) Steltenpohl, and sister in law, Carol Steltenpohl.
He is further survived by his brothers and sisters in law, Carol Dix, Charles (Kathy) Bubolz, and Marlene (Jim) Melbinger, and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Willard and Lucille, brother in infancy, David Steltenpohl, and brother, Larry Steltenpohl.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be designated to Immanuel Lutheran Church, Marshfield.
The family would like to extend a special thanks to Compassus Hospice, Three Oaks Health Services, and nurse Pam for all their wonderful care.
