Ronald Olguin

1954– 2022 Ronald Robert Olguin, age 68, a resident of Peralta, NM, passed on to our Lord at 7:55 a.m. on March 3, 2022. Surrounded by his family, Ron was able to pass to the Lord while he remained in the comforts of his home during his last moments on Earth. He was given less than 6 months to live and fought pancreatic cancer for over two years. Ron continued to fight and never gave up as he wanted to spend every precious moment with his beloved family, friends, and clients. He was a life-long resident of Peralta and was a proud part of the community. Ron provided care for family while in high school, graduated from Los Lunas High School in 1972 and went on to graduated from Northern New Mexico College in 1974. He was a career-long barber/ hair stylist who never wanted to retire as he loved his clients. Ron is preceded in death by his parents, Albert and Elizabeth Carbajal- Olguin. He is survived by his son, Ernest (Mary); daughters, Alberta Olguin and Annette Baca (Brandon Jaramillo). He left many memories and words of wisdom to continue his desire for a collective community. This collective community includes his grandchildren, Bailey, Antonio, and Amanda Olguin, Alexis, Alyssa, and Ashley Baca; great grandchild, Kayden Perez; first grand- dog, Milo; siblings, Carl Olguin, Robert Olguin (Maxine), Debbie Gabaldon (Norbert), Bryan Olguin (Gabby), Karen Viramontes (Paul), Renee Bouma (Bill), and Dr. David Olguin (Francisco). Ron lived to promote belief in Jesus Christ and ascribed to healthy moral and ethical principles while walking life without fear. He would say, “I lived a good life and I’ve been where I’ve wanted to be”. Ron couldn’t pass up a Good Deal. He would say, “If it’s in the budget then buy it”. Ron lived a life that continually included family and friends. If he wasn’t at a get-together, on afternoon to overnight motorcycle rides, increasing his collection, seeking spiritual and religious strength, he helped operations at the Bosque Farms Flea Market. Ron also continued customer service at Ron’s Place until his last days. His passion, determination, and care for his customers were evident. Each one of these clients had their own special relationship with Ron. When unable to stand on his own, he instructed his family members to hold him upright while he finished the last of his appointments. And, for this, Ron’s family expresses a heart-felt thank you to the community he so loved to serve, and who-in-turn loved him. In honor and respect for Ron, a public visitation will be held at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church on Friday, March 18, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. A rosary will be recited at 11:00 a.m. followed by a funeral mass at 11:30 a.m. Interment will follow at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Cemetery. A get- together will take place at the home of his daughter, Annette. It is encouraged that any gifts be personal donations to St. Jude Cancer Fund or Project Purple. A heart felt thanks to all of his family and friends who came to help keep him in personal, spiritual, and religious comfort.
