Ron was born in Lethbridge on August 22, 1967 to Frank Sr. and Ann Cudrak. He and his family resided in Sunnyside until 1974, when they moved to Hays to farm there. Ron graduated from Vauxhall High School, and after a brief stint in the oil field, returned home to Hays to farm. He has resided there until the time of his passing. Ron will be sadly missed by all who knew him. His smile, quick wit and sense of humour will live on in all the people he touched.
