Ron Knievel
Oct 11, 1970 — Jan 10, 2013
Ronald "Ron" Knievel, 42 of Ft. Collins, died January 10, 2013 at his home. A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 9:30 am Saturday, January 19th at St. Joseph Catholic Church, with interment in Loveland Burial Park immediately afterwards.
Ronald Martin Knievel was born October 11, 1970 in Chicago, IL and was a graduate of Ft. Collins High School in 1989. After graduation, Ron worked at Copper Mountain and then tried furniture manufacturing and bicycle repair. He returned to the mountains and worked as a night cook in Steamboat Springs so he could snowboard all day. Soon, he realized a real job was needed, so he came down from the mountains and began working for Applied Films in Longmont; where he became a thin film technician, allowing (and requiring) him to travel extensively all over the world.
Ron loved skate boarding and snow boarding as well as long-distance bicycling. He also loved his German shepherd dogs.
Ron is survived by his mother, Janet Knievel of Ft. Collins; his grandmother, Alice Knievel; an uncle, Jerry Knievel; aunt, Joan (and TK) Jones; uncle, Mike (and Margaret) Knievel; Aunt Jackie Knievel; and cousins, Eric Jones, Kristin Jones, Tim Knievel and Brian Knievel.
