Ron was born at John McDonald Hospital on Aug. 12, 1952, the son of Shirley (Ambuehl) Steiner and Richard Steiner. He attended school in Monticello. Ronald married Karen Meier in June 1981 at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Monticello. They later divorced.

Ron was preceded in death by his parents; in-laws, Pete and Helen Meier; his sister, Diane Graves; and brother-in-law, Jim Wirth.

Ron was an independent contractor at Steiner Construction Inc. for more than 25 years in Marion. He built several commercial and residential homes all throughout Iowa. His largest project was in Cedar Rapids, Cottage Grove Place on First Avenue.

Ron's greatest joy in the last year was his faith in God and his brotherhood of friends he made at prayer group. He stated he should have done this years ago. It made him feel so at peace. He had no fear of passing on.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Karen Steiner, 316 W. Grand St., Monticello, IA 52310.
