Ron Tuttle, a proud United States Army Veteran, passed away on October 8, 2025, at the age of 76.
Born on June 29, 1949, in Keokuk, Illinois, to the late Robert Tuttle and Vivian Ellen Hunter McVeigh, Ron’s involvement with organizations such as the Mid America APA, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion, and the River City Eagles Club illustrated his continued commitment to fellowship and service. An ardent lover of cue sports, Ron could often be found with a cue in hand, skillfully navigating the pool tables with a level of expertise and sportsmanship that brought joy to those around him. When he wasn't immersed in the clinking sounds of pool balls, Ron's devotion to the St. Louis Cardinals was unmatched. Baseball season was a time of excitement and camaraderie for him, as he would join fellow fans to cheer on his favorite team.
Ron is survived by his wife of five years, Kim Farmer of Paducah, Kentucky; a daughter, Anna (Blain)Trahan of Kevil, Kentucky; two sons, Ryan Tuttle of Paducah and Shane Holder of Shawnee, Oklahoma; ten grandchildren, Olivia Trahan, Staci Tuttle, Ethan Tuttle, Emily Tuttle, Carlie Tuttle, Gage Holder, Haley Holder, Nikki Holder, Isaiah Knoth, and Noah Knoth; two great grandchildren; and a sister, Sandee (Chuck) Oetken of New London, Iowa.
He was preceded in death by a son, Shawn Holder, and his parents.
