Ronald Carl Ogle died at home in Maryville, Tennessee on January 12, 2022, after battling dementia. He was born on February 22, 1949, the eldest of six children, to Carl Wesley Ogle and Edith Lorene (Mitchell) Ogle.
Ron graduated from Walland High School and completed mechanical and autobody training from a trade school. He married his wife, Joann, on September 5, 1969, and they had two children of their own: Amy and Greg. Ron was the thirteenth hire at Schegel’s/BTR, working in several positions including line operator and shift leader, and he spent thirty years in their service before retiring.
Ron was ordained at Pioneer Baptist Church into ministry and served as a deacon until the church closed, then later the family attended Maple Grove Missionary Baptist Church. Ron and Joann fostered children in their home through Omni Visions for over twenty years. Ron was a loving husband and father and was passionate with hobbies of mechanical work and woodcraft in his workshop. He also raised tobacco and cattle on the farm for a few years, but he found the most joy in his retirement years with the arrival of his grandchildren into the family.
Ron is predeceased by his parents and brothers Donnie and Jeff.
