Ron Otis Christison

On Wednesday December 13, 2017, Ron Otis Christison passed from this life at a Salt Lake City hospital, with his mother and wife by his side, of complications from liver disease.

Ron wanted his remains cremated. A gathering to celebrate his life will be held soon in Belize and Salt Lake City after the New Year.

Ron, you will be sorely missed.
