August 1, 2020

On Saturday, August 1, 2020, Ronald William McPherson passed away at the age of 61. Ron was born on May 7, 1959, in Lufkin, Texas to William and Louise McPherson. Ron married Tamatha Peak on October 22, 2000, and they raised two children, Tyler Junkin and Tiara Florio.

After high school, Ron served in the United States Army before returning home to go to college. He attended the University of Arkansas and received his Bachelor of Science in accounting. After attending school at the UofA, Ron kept that deep passion for the Arkansas Razorbacks; you could always find him in his Razorback gear watching a game. Ron also had a deep passion to serve his community. Over the past several years, Ron has been a member of the Mid-Marion County Rotary Club, the Yellville Chamber of Commerce, and he served as a Justice of the Peace for Marion County. Ron ended his career as the Marion County Treasurer and retired from that job in July of 2020. Ron loved to travel with his family and friends and experienced many new places over the years. He had three wonderful grandchildren who were the light of his life. Everyone who knew Ron knows how much he loved to smile and laugh, and make others do the same. He was always playing tricks on people and giving everyone a hard time. He had his niece convinced for many years when she was a child that his middle name was ''wonderful'', after she had asked what the ''W'' stood for. His smile and laughter will be missed in our community.

Ron is survived by his mother Louise McPherson of Yellville, his wife Tamatha (Peak) McPherson of Yellville, two children: Tiara Florio and Tyler Junkin of Yellville, three grandchildren: Kynlie Florio, Kannen Florio, and Rheagan Junkin, one brother Kevin McPherson (Pam) of West Fork, Arkansas, and one sister; Kathleen Etrice (Warren) of Darnel, Arkansas.

Ron is preceded in death by his father, William McPherson.

An outdoor memorial will be held Friday, August 7, at 10 o'clock in the morning at the First Presbyterian Church of Yellville. Flowers may be sent to the church at 2250 US 62 Yellville, Arkansas
