BUSHTON — Ronald E. “Ron” Schepmann, 69, passed away Saturday, Feb. 26, 2022, in Hoisington, Kan. He was born May 5, 1952, in Hoisington to Elroy and Rose Anna (Hagge) Schepmann. Ron married Damaris Smith on Aug. 2, 1997, in Holyrood, Kan.

Ron was a very loving husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather, and a beloved brother and uncle. He was a fine man, a knowledgeable stockman and farmer, a lifetime member of St. Peter Lutheran Church of Holyrood, and member of Holyrood American Legion Post 200. He will be remembered for his love of family, especially his wife Damaris. He had a quirky sense of humor that he practiced on his many family members, especially his nephews and nieces.

The lives of those who knew him were enriched by knowing him.
