Ron Harris passed 12/28/22 at his home in Anacortes, leaving behind his spouse (Linda Harris), 2 sons (Bradley and Sheldon Harris), along with grandchildren (Lilly Harris and Sarah Harris), Linda’s two children (Erika Switzer and Nathan Switzer) and grandchildren in the Switzer family.
Ron began life in Bozeman, Montana, and lived in Utah, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Texas, and Hawaii over the years. He has been retired for many years in Anacortes. Ron’s work included forays into dam construction as a youngster, then the insurance industry, government training management, real estate broker, motel management, and consignment store proprietor. He always sought to help build a better community and was engaged in civic activities for most of his life.
Ron was an outstandingly supportive father, and a friend to many - a good-hearted person who enjoyed daily interfaces with all sorts of people. His trademark was the ability to strike up a jovial conversation with whomever he encountered. He will be missed by all his family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances who have survived him. Ron treasured every one of them!
