Ronald was born October 7, 1945 in Elma, the son of August "Gus" and Stella (Weipert) Milhan. He attended country school and while growing up liked to ride horses and play with the calves. He helped take care of his parents until they passed away.

In November of 1994 he moved to Makee Manor, Waukon, and there he met Evelyn Englehardt, whom he married April 26, 1996 in Waukon. They lived in Waukon, attended St. Patrick Catholic Church, and Ron remained active pushing his wheelchair around town, doing errands and visiting with friends. Ron especially enjoyed visits and going on rides with his nephew, Kevin King, who died in 2003.

In 2004, Ron and Evelyn moved to Aase Haugen Home in Decorah. There he enjoyed playing cards, listening to music, doing art work, attending church, and joking with the staff. He also enjoyed animals, especially the dogs at Aase Haugen Home, who were often given unnoticed treats.

Ron always remained deeply attentive to the love of his life, Evelyn. She was his special friend, and together they spent their days. Ron will be deeply missed by his wife, family, friends and the staff at Aase Haugen Home.

He is survived by his wife, Evelyn, and her children and their families, Mike, Preston and Paul Englehardt and Melissa Mohs; his sister, Rachel King of Luana; his nephews, Arnold, Jr., Herman, Gary and Randy King; and his nieces, Linda Brainard, Luella Horsfall and Edna Adams.
