The Seybert family moved to Holly, Colorado in the fall of 1972.  Ron attended Holly High School, graduating in 1975.

Ron took great pride in his work, making sure everything that he did was precise. He often boasted of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. His love for his family was unconditional. Ron cherished the time he spent with his family. As well, he enjoyed filling his free time with football, yard work, home improvement projects, camping, range time, and was known to be a great mechanic.
