Ronald Raymond Kellogg, 69, was born July 25, 1956 in Kalamazoo, Michigan to parents Ronald V and Mary O (Lovins) Kellogg. He slipped quietly away in his sleep April 26, 2026, at home with his loved ones. Having a particularly happy disposition, Ron was well-liked, sharing laughter with many friends.
Ron was married to Susan C Krusyna on February 14, 1976 in Parchment, Michigan. They lived in the Kalamazoo area, raising their family, for 25 years while Ron worked as a papermaker before relocating to West Plains, Missouri. Ron then worked in hospitality and as maintenance for the Holiday Inn in West Plains.
Ron was a lifelong lover of music, enjoying a very wide variety of artists and tunes including Beatles, country ballads and Kingdom Melodies. He learned to play guitar as a young man with assistance from his Uncle Owen, and from then on he also delighted in playing music as well. Ron greatly appreciated learning Bible truth and sharing it with others as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Ron was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Donald Lee Kellogg. He is survived by his wife; his son Steven Kellogg (Melissa) of Vicksburg, MI and his daughter Angela Kellogg, of West Plains, MO; four grandchildren, Kayli and Micah of West Plains, and Tristan and Ayden of Vicksburg, MI; an aunt and uncle, Connie and Floyd Gibson of Tennessee; two sisters, Melinda Scott (Robert) of Parchment, MI and Susie Wickstrom (Nick) of Portage, MI; brother-in-law, Al Garnaat of Kalamazoo, MI and cousins, nieces and nephews, so many of whom were very special to Ron.
