Bio
Ronald James "Ron" Dusek passed away surrounded by his family on Wednesday, March 6, 2019 after a brief illness. A celebration of Ron's life will take place on Saturday, March 9, 2019 at 11:00 a.m. at the Brethren Church in Caldwell, Texas. Ron was born on March 22, 1940 in Williamson County, Texas to Lydia and Clifton Oscar Dusek and predominantly grew up in Crosby, Texas. He moved to Caldwell, Texas with his family for his senior year in high school and was a member of the Caldwell High School class of 1958. Ron married Elizabeth Frances "Betty" Dusek and were married 49 years until Betty passed away in 2014. Ron and Betty had two sons James and John. Ron attended the University of Texas Dental Branch and was a proud member of the Longhorn band. In 1964 he and Betty moved to Caldwell and began his dental practice. There Ron became an active member of the community as a Paul Harris Award recipient of the Caldwell Rotary Club, serving on Caldwell City Council from 1979 to 1987 and more recently serving on the board for the Burleson County Hospital District. Ron was also a life long member of the Brethren Church singing in the choir and serving for many years on the statewide synodical committee where he developed friendships with fellow members of the Brethren faith across Texas. Ron was passionate about his Texas Longhorns, hunting, fishing and spending time with his only grandchild, Annabeth. Ron always lived his life to its fullest enjoying skiing, fly fishing, dove hunting and attending the Texas OU game with James as well as regularly traveling to San Angelo for Annabeth's orchestra and ballet performances. Nothing gave him greater joy than spending time with Annabeth especially teaching her to fish, shoot and ski. Ron was predeceased by his parents; his loving wife, Betty; and their son, John; as well as close long time friend, Jim Marsh. The family rejoices in knowing that Ron is reunited with these loved ones especially Betty whom he loved and adored and whom he joined in Heaven on the 6th anniversary of her passing. Ron is survived by his son, James Dusek (wife, Carmen); and one granddaughter, Annabeth Dusek all of San Angelo; as well as brother, Clif Dusek (wife, Becky) of Lake Jackson; brother-in-law, Bruce Burns of Aiken, South Carolina; and multiple nieces and nephews; as well as great-nieces and great-nephews. In lieu of flowers Ron and his family would appreciate memorials to Hus School Encampment or the Caldwell Brethren Church- music fund. Hook 'em!
