He was born November 6, 1946 in Clayton, Missouri, the son of Louis Peter Thebeau and Ruby Jewel Arnold Thebeau. Ron served his country in the United States Army from 1965-1969 in Vietnam and Germany and was a proud member of the American Legion, and a Free Mason.

Ron loved his family dearly and loved his friends which he kept in contact with. He loved gardening and working on his tractors. Ron was a strong presence to his family and friends and will be missed terribly now going to the other side where more family and friends will be.
