Ronald Dee Willhite, 79, of Sweet, Idaho, passed away at home on February 19, 2025.
Ron was born on February 19, 1946 to Richard McKinley and Eula Willhite in Buhl, Idaho.
Ron's family moved to Boise in 1948. While going to school, Ron lived in Halfway, Oregon. He lived for the outdoors and rode horses, motorcycles, snowmobiles and 4-wheelers. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and loved to waterski. Ron drove a cement mixer truck for Idaho Concrete for 35 years.
Ron always had something to do. When he wasn't working on a car or cutting up wood, he was tearing something up so he could put it back together.
Ron was a tease and an instigator, and he loved to make people laugh!
Ron married Alma in April of 1967 and they raised two daughters. Their daughters gave them four grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
Services will be held Friday, February 28, 2025 at 12:00 P.M. with a viewing starting at 11:00 A.M. at the Potter Funeral Chapel in Emmett, Idaho. Burial will follow at the Sweet Cemetery.
