Ronald Ray Neilson, 62, was tragically taken in a vehicle accident on Thursday, February 9, 2023. He was born on January 5, 1961, in Topeka, Kansas, the son of Arley Ray and Josephine (Rose) Neilson.

Ron lived near Lyndon, Kansas, all of his life. After graduating from Lyndon High School in 1979, Ron purchased a farm a few miles from his childhood home where he co-farmed with his father and raised cattle. On May 28, 1983, Ron was united in marriage to Connie Lynn Jones in Ottawa, Kansas. To this union four children were born, Kyle, Kevin, Katelyn, and Kade. He became a rural mail carrier for the post office and a Fieldman for the Overbrook Livestock Commission. He was a member of the Topeka Baptist Church.

Ron is survived by his wife, Connie, of 39 years; his four children, Kyle of Lyndon, Kevin of Bucyrus, Katelyn of Olathe, and Kade of Liberty, Missouri; his parents, Arley Ray and Jo; his two sisters, Cathy Keezer of Wichita and Robin Nitcher of Pomona; and 10 grandchildren.

Ron was passionate about his family, never shied away from a challenge, and prided himself on always giving 110% in everything he did. He made a lasting impact everywhere he went and worked. He will be missed more than words can describe.

Funeral services for Ron will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, February 25, at the Grace Community Church in Overbrook. Burial will be at the Vassar Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 4:30 to 7:00 pm on Friday the 24th at the Feltner Funeral Home in Lyndon.
