Ronald Lynn Hammond of Tooele County, Utah, passed away peacefully Monday, Nov. 29, 2021, in Sutton Coldfield, England, surrounded by his wife and children.
Ron was a proud Tooele High Class of ’59 Alumni. He served an LDS mission in Northern England in the early 60s and graduated from BYU in ’67. Ron and his lifelong sweetheart Pat were married in the Salt Lake Temple and recently celebrated 55 happy years. Together they raised five children in England and Utah.
Ron was a friend to all and loved his family. He made staying in touch a priority and could lighten any load with his endless supply of dad jokes. He was a family history buff and with a pedigree pre-dating the Mayflower he had prepared an extensive meet and greet list of those who went before. For those left behind his enthusiasm and genuine concern for all will be greatly missed.
Ron is survived by his wife Pat; his children Andrea, Kathryn (Mark), John (Clare), Jane (Jason), and Richard (Sam); his grandchildren Erika, Danielle, Josie-Ann, William, Josie, Chase, Molly, Owen, Milly, Miles, Tate, Rhys, and Eli; his great-grandchildren Cosmo, Sevyn, Kortnie, and Paisley. He was preceded in death by his sisters Karen and Jolene, survived by his brothers Tom and Larry, and his lifelong friends Noel Barton and Tom Whitley.
Services will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sutton Coldfield, Tuesday Dec. 14 at 10:30 a.m. (GMT). Interment: Sutton New Hall Cemetery (immediate family). Link: tinyurl.com/RLHfuneral Meeting ID: 992 0141 9213 Passcode: 589874
