It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of a truly remarkable man, Ron Vandeborne. Ron was born August 9, 1946 in Steubenville, Ohio, son of the late Felix and Florence Frey Vandeborne.
Surviving to cherish his wonderful memory are wife Brenda, sons Jeffrey (Rhonda) and Kevin (Liana), two grandchildren Joshua (Ruby) and Irina, one great grandson Adam, also Ron's two sisters Kathy (Jim) McDonald and Angel (Steve) Young. And many well-loved nieces and nephews.
Ron graduated from Smithfield High School in 1964, achieving academic and athletic honors. He graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelors Degree in Education and the University of Dayton with a Master's Degree, achieving academic honors.
He worked in the Industrial Engineering Department at the former Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corp. before he began his career as a Teacher and Jr. High Counselor in the Indian Creek School District.
He was a Jr. High football and track coach at Indian Creek. He assisted the Jefferson County Soil and Water Department with farm tours.
In 1974, Ron was recognized by the district as one of the Outstanding Elementary Teacher's of America Award. He was also a Martha Holden Jennings Scholar Award recipient through the Kent State University.
Ron received the Service Award from the Jefferson County Soil and Water District and was also awarded the Mary Sutherland Service Award from the Smithfield High School Alumni. Ron also served in the United States Army Reserves and loved his country.
Ron was a member of the Wintersville Church of Christ for over 40 years, where he taught Sunday school and served as an Elder and Trustee. He was a 50 year member of Smithfield Lodge #182, Scottish Rite and Steubenville and Columbus Shrine Club.
Ron was proud of his heritage and the Vandeborne name. He was committed to family and his faith. He also had a loving circle of friends he loved to be around. He was a kind, caring, compassionate man of great faith. He will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him and loved him.
