Obituary of Ron Matlock

Ronald Robert Matlock, age 81, passed away on Sunday, August 22, 2021 at his home in Lenox, Missouri with his family by his side. Ron was born on October 26, 1939 in Lenox, Missouri to Bill and Lorene Matlock. In his younger days, Ron enjoyed elk hunting and trips to Colorado with friends and family.

Ron will be greatly missed by his three children, Cindy Heseman, Mike Matlock, and Ginger Schroer (husband, Gene); four grandchildren, Katie Hinton, Jake Hinton, Cierra Schroer, and Abigail Schroer; and six great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. He is preceded in death by his wife, Jo Ann (Quick) Matlock; his parents; one sister, Judy Gilbert; son-in-law, Willard Heseman; and three brothers-in-law, Keith Quick and Don Routh, and Earl Gilbert.
