Obituary for Ronald Charles Petrovich
Ronald C. Petrovich was born November 9, 1949 in Chicago, Illinois. He unexpectedly passed away May 10, 2017 in Security Colorado.
Ron was a veteran of the Vietnam War where he was awarded the bronze star for his service as a helicopter pilot. After he was discharged from the military, he worked for Colorado Springs Utilities for over 30 years. Ron was a curious military historian who took on many research projects on the Civil War and WW2. He was also a train enthusiast who enjoyed setting up his model train set for nephews. Above all, Ron was a generous and understated guy who would always help anyone in need, but never wanted credit. Family was of most importance to him.
Ron is survived by his sister Patricia (Jerry) Mielke, nephews Devin (Dara), Ryan, Tanner (Alyse), Joseph (Lisa) & Cash, nieces Jaidyn & Mackenzi and his canine bestie, Yogi. He is also survived by his Uncle Stan Petrovich along with numerous cousins.
Ron was the proud son of WW2 veteran Walter Petrovich and Amelia Petrovich who preceded him in death along with his brother and fellow Vietnam veteran Walter (Wally).
Memorial service will be private.
