RONALD L. PROUGH
May 20, 1945 - February 15, 2020
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
On February 15, 2020, Ronald L Prough passed away unexpectedly at work at the age of 74 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, where he had resided since 1974. Ronald worked at Abrahamson Bail Bonds for over 25 years, where he was an exemplary employee—hard working and dependable.
Ronald was born on May 20, 1945 in Chariton, Iowa to Harry Prough (“Junior”) and Ethel. Ronald spoke often of his fond memories with his Grandma Cottrell and Grandma Prough, and life on the farm as a child. These cherished memories carried throughout his life as he may have lived in the “city” but he was most definitely a “country boy” at heart. He adored his pets, the outdoors, flowers, and a simple way of life. He often wore his bib overalls, and always cowboy boots.
Ronald was drafted in October 1965 and served in Vietnam. He was honorably discharged from service in October 1967.
Ron was known for his kindness and grand generosity. He was meticulous, independent, introverted, and strong willed, yet extremely tender-hearted. He was a devoted friend and he loved very deeply those who were closest to him. His friends described him as the “brother they never had.” Ron adored his beloved dogs, and he valued his numerous vehicles. He enjoyed writing. He sent thousands of cards, letters and poems to those he held dear. He loved going to garage sales where he gathered collection upon collection of “treasures”.
In Ron’s own words found in his autobiography, “I have had a good and super blessed life. God has been so good to me, I give Him thanks and all the credit for so many blessings that have been bestowed upon me, for His meeting my needs over the years, for protection and guidance down this pathway of life. God had a reason for each person that has entered my life. I am especially thankful for my family, for the ones whose love has been so unconditional.”
Ronald was preceded in death by both of his parents, Harry Prough Jr, and Ethel Prough/Printy. He is survived by his two sisters Rhonda Anderson (Prough), and Marilyn (Rodney) Masters, aunt Doris (Rodney) Christensen, uncle Dale (Fern) Cottrell, uncle Harold (Daphen) Prough, and many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and his beloved dogs.
At Ronald’s request, no services will be held.
Condolences may be sent to Lynette Fadden 1051 SE 60th St Pleasant Hill, IA 50327.
