Ron Loken, 76, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family on Thursday April 11, 2024. Born to Earl and Betty Loken on Aug 5, 1947, Ron grew up on a farm in rural Blair, WI. He spent 3 years serving his country in the Army Reserves. He married Janet (Leoni) Loken 11/14/1970. They settled in Ettrick, WI and had two children Nichole Loken and Jeff Loken. Ron was well known. He was employed by the Trempealeau County Highway Department for 37 years, ending his career as Highway Commissioner. At one point, Ron was Mayor of Ettrick, served on the village board, and was part of the fire department. He finished out his career at Mead and Hunt Engineering. Ron had a love for sports, whether it be watching his kids, grandkids or any Wisconsin sport team. If he wasn’t listening to a Brewer game in the garage, you could find him playing cards at Weiners with “da boys.” Ron took his yard work seriously. Many hours were spent mowing on his rider. He also had a green thumb with tomatoes and cucumbers. Ron is survived by his wife Janet (Leoni) Loken. 2 children Nicci Loken and Jeff Loken (Angie Ausprung). Grandkids Essence Loken, Dominic Loken, Jada Loken and Noah and Caleb Riley. Sister, Vicky (Dennis) Pieper and many nieces and nephews. A special thanks to Micky Wood and Jeff and Jay Paulson for all of their help, also to the St.Croix Hospice team. A visitation will be held on April 25, 2024, from 4-7pm at St. Bridget's Catholic Church in Ettrick Wi. The funeral service will be on April 26, 2024, at 11 am, at the same venue, with a visitation one hour prior to the service.
