It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald Burbes, beloved husband of 56 years to his wife, Linda. He deeply loved his family. He enjoyed fishing and hunting. After retirement, gambling became his passion. Las Vegas was his favorite place to visit. He loved taking trips with his family. He served in the US Army from 1966-1968. He was a Teamster Local 600 for 31 years. He retired from Yellow Freight in 1999. He is the son of the late Clarence “Bud” & Helen (Lingemann) Burbes. Stepson of the late Antonio Razo. Brother of the late Eugene Burbes. He is survived by his wife Linda Burbes, daughter Stacy Burbes, grandson Spencer Harpole. He will be remembered as a kind and witty guy, who loved margaritas, making his family laugh, and waiting for the Aliens to Beam him Up. He will be deeply missed and forever in our hearts.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great guy.
I am sorry to hear this news. I worked with Linda years ago and did have the privilege of meeting Ron. I will be praying for your family.
Linda, Stacey, and Spencer I have a loss for words but if you need anything just let us know I know how much my Mom and Dad appreciated your friendship and I feel the same I will miss Ron’s big smile and wave when he was out he had the best smile ❤️
Linda and I have been close friends for 53 years.i gave her her baby shower when she was pregnant with Stacie. We were in Vegas a few years ago. We had a blast. Linda texted me tonight. Been crying ever since. I love you Linfa and Stacie. Fly high Ron.
Linda,
Ron was one of my all-time favorites! I saw him every 3 months for 20+ years. He was always kidding around and just a good time, and that’s saying something when someone can be so congenial while getting their teeth cleaned. Though I’ll admit he didn’t enjoy the cleaning part, he was always thankful.
And although the circumstances weren’t the best I did enjoy getting to meet and visit with you at the last few visits.
With sympathy,
His Hygienist, Jackie
