Ron made many trips with his friend Wendell Richter to NASCAR and drag-racing events in Brainerd, Minnesota. Ron's most important passion was music and sharing the good-times with friends and family. He was an accomplished musician and loved singing country and western favourites. A private gathering of family and friends is being held to honour and celebrate the life of Ron Danners.

Dear June..my deepest sympathy to you and Ron's family. It was my great honor to have the privalege of knowing Ron. He was the most courageous and opptomistic man. He battled through his illness like a true worrior, with never a clampaint and true optimism. He helped me so much as I went through my struggles when my fiance battled the same disease. I will remember him fondly. - Posted by: Linda Percy (barber (friend)) on: Oct 25, 2015
