"Captain Ron/Uncle Ron"Peacefully and gratefully entered Heaven after a short illness on Friday December 25th, 2015 at the age of 71 at his home surrounded by family and friends.  He is survived by his devoted wife Joanne (nee Wheaton), son Ronald II (Audra), and daughter Stacy.  Additionally, he has been the loving "Papa" to Megan and grandfather to Jasmine, Ariel, and Christian, and soon to be great-grandfather to Hazel.  Also survived by many nieces and nephews and his brother and sister-in-law Dan and Karen Roder, and, most sweetly, by his mother-in-law "Miss Carrie" Roder.   A longtime resident of Muskego, WI, he was born in Philadelphia, PA and moved to Muskego to continue his longstanding career in nursing home operations, serving as the Senior VP of Operations for Unicare Health Facilities.  Eight years ago, along with three other good men, he founded the non-profit organization Feed My Sheep, Inc., operated out of Elmbrook Church, where he served in fulltime ministry until the last days of his life.    He leaves behind a legacy of love and acceptance for all and is known as the man "behind the counter" who always had time for any man, woman, or child, and especially the seniors who he loved to serve. He is a man who walked with Jesus and modeled his ways.  You will be missed by many.    A visitation will be held on Saturday January 9th at Elmbrook Church at 777 S. Barker Rd. Brookfield, WI from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m.  In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to be made "In loving memory of Ron Knox" either to Feed My Sheep or Blair Academy/Class of '63 Faculty Chair, addressed envelopes will be available at the service.  Refreshments will be served following the service.
