Ronald John Fobear Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Ronald John Fobear, 78, of Kochville, our precise and meticulous brother, uncle, and friend passed away on Thursday, April 23, 2020. Ron was born in Saginaw on April 6, 1942, the son of the late John W. and Florence L. (Meisel) Fobear. Answering the call of our country, Ron proudly served in the U.S. Army during Vietnam from 1968-1969 and was a member of the V.F.W. A hardworking man, Ron worked his entire career at the family business, Bay Outboard Marine. Outboard engines were Ron's passion in life. Ron loved boat racing, vintage snowmobiles, vintage outboard boat engines, and enjoyed most when he could diagnose, solve, and service an engine problem. He will be deeply missed by his entire family and friends. Ron is survived by his siblings, Fred & Dawn Fobear and Jack & Sue Fobear; nieces, Melissa Fobear and partner, Stacy Makris, Dr. Katherine Fobear, and his nephews, Derek & Leslie Fobear and Kevin Fobear. Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, burial will be held privately in Kochville Cemetery. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Final arrangements have been entrusted to Skorupski Family Funeral Home & Cremation Services (formerly Reitz-Herzberg), 1550 Midland Rd., between State & Gratiot.
