Ronald George Roghair, beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, passed away suddenly on Tuesday, August 4, 2026. Ron Was born on October 18th, 1956, to Zelda Roghair and Theodore Roghair, in Pierre, South Dakota where he learned the value of hard work and developed a lifelong passion for the outdoors.

As a young adult, Ron moved to Wyoming with his then-wife, Kathleen Roghair, and soon began his career at Jim Bridger Power Plant in southwest Wyoming. Over the next 9 years Ron became a father to four children, Jason, Justin, Jeffry, and Heather.

Towards the end of Ron’s career at the power plant, he met his love, Celia, with whom he spent the rest of his life. Together, they had many fun-filled adventures. Ron retired from Jim Bridger Power Plant as a Plant Mechanic in 2017. Once retired, he fulfilled his hunting dreams, traveling across the country chasing bucks, bulls, and everything in between. His goal was to hunt in every state, and he nearly accomplished it.

Besides hunting and fishing, Ron enjoyed gardening and he liked to share the fruits of his labor with anyone who would accept them. He was especially proud of his tomatoes! He also enjoyed his role as grandpa to all of his grandkids and bonus grandkids, and spending time with his family.
