Ronald Kevin Sell
March 28, 1967-November 12, 2024
Our beloved Ron passed away at age 57 on November 12, 2024 in Colorado Springs after a lengthy and courageous cancer battle. Ron was born in Rockford Illinois to Clarenda (Burris) and John Sell on March 28, 1967. His family moved frequently during his childhood but eventually settled in Colorado Springs. Ron graduated from Air Academy High School in 1986. He spent the majority of his career in the restaurant business, working his way from a dishwasher position to General Manager for both Red Robin and On the Border. Following his restaurant career, Ron brightened this world with his colorful and imaginative artwork. He enjoyed sharing his creations, hoping to bring a bit of joy to others.
Ron enjoyed camping with his family, being outdoors while crawling his remote control trucks on the rocks, building and painting his remote control trucks, spending time with family and friends and playing with his pets.
Ron is survived by his wife of 33 years Beth, his mother Crenda, step-father Ed, sisters Rhonda, Merri and Aleda, brother Rich, brother-in-law Robert, sister-in-law Janet and numerous nieces and nephews.
Ron loved life and the people who shared it with him deeply. He wanted only the best for those around him and worked tirelessly to enrich their lives on many levels. Ron fought with the heart of a warrior through his illness not only for himself and his family but in the hopes of furthering treatment and science for those that follow behind him.
