Joining their families together they raised four amazing children, Johnny Brewer, Lori Oglesby Clevenger, Ron Oglesby, Jr. and James Oglesby.
Ron was an Eagle Scout and taught several times at Scout Camp. He loved his family and anything outdoors, fishing, golfing, hiking, but most of all he loved his Heavenly Father. He was a great man of faith and would witness to anyone who would listen. He began each day reading his bible and praying.
