Ronnie Neil Tischner Obituary (1949 - 2007)

Our loving, gentle brother, son, father and friend passed away April 27, 2007. Ronnie was born October 13, 1949 to R. Neil Tischner and Betty Christensen. While we grieve for our loss, we rejoice that he is now free from the pain and suffering he endured from his life-long struggle with alcoholism. Through all of his difficulties he always treated everyone around him with love, kindness and respect. Gifted with an above-average I.Q., he was a great conversationalist and loved to engage in friendly debate. He had a wonderfully wicked sense of humor and was a joy to be around. Ron loved woodworking, hunting and fishing. He leaves behind his father, R. Neil Tischner; step-father, Jess Christensen; former wife, Sue Tischner; children, Ronnel, Lonnie, Roger, Ricky and Sherrie; eight grandchildren; brother, Rory (Pam); sisters, Rhonda (Jess), Rinnette, Rashell (Gil) and Roylance (Steve); as well as special friend, Joanie. Predeceased by his mother, Betty. Graveside services will be Thursday, May 3, 2007, at 11:00 a.m. at Murray City Cemetery, 5600 So. Vine Street, under the direction of Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary where flowers can be received.
