Ron Hamilton Obituary

Harold Ronald Hamilton "Ron" passed away at his home in Cortez, CO February 22, 2023. Ron was born October 31, 1962 to Maurice and Doris (Sluder) Hamilton in Cortez, CO. He graduated from Dolores High School. He married Susin Lucero July 5, 1996 and her daughter Eva came as a bonus. Eva was his daughter from that time on. He couldn't have loved her any more if she had been his own flesh and blood. In 2021 Ron became a Grandpa, when Eva gave birth to a son named Ayden. Susin and Ron separated in 2005 but remained friends. Ron had a soft spot for animals and especially any cat that was homeless. He would take them in, and was often seen outside walking his dog, with the cats following behind. Ron went to work at City Market right out of high school and hurt his back while pushing a large load of grocery carts. He suffered from immense pain from that day forward. Unable to function well from the pain, he tried several different jobs. He finally found a job which kept him limber by walking, standing, and driving; delivering pizza at Domino's. He looked forward to chatting with the customers he delivered to each day.

Ron leaves to mourn his Dad, Maurice Hamilton (Lynda Tobin), his Mom Doris Bair (Charlie), his sister Debbie Cuckie (George), his daughter Eva Lucero, his grandson Ayden, a nephew, Andrew Cuckie (Lauren) and niece Emma Cuckie as well as many cousins and friends.

Services to be held at a future date.

I was saddened to learn of Ron's passing. I first met Ron when he came to one our family gatherings with Susin. He was so nice and friendly, and since that day, there wasn't a time I saw him that he didn't have a smile on his face or a kind word or a wave. He was both family and a friend. He was truly a gem. I will miss you. R.I.P.

Ron was truly one of the nicest people I ever had the pleasure to meet. He left an impression on my family and me, and we would comment on how he had a warm, genuine smile and a kind word to say, every single time we interacted with him. He will be missed!

This man right here made me smile every time I saw him. I met him when he worked at City Market and we just liked talking and joking. I loved when I got a quick chat when he would deliver my pizza over the years. What a guy. He will truly be missed. R.I.P. friend.

Words can´t explain this for us! Ron, was our favorite delivery guy from Dominos he fell in love with our dog "Baby" when we moved he was excited to see us again after the move and from them on he always was happy and we would talk about a lot of things, some days it was just to order pizza to have a visit with Ron. Such a wonderful and kind soul he was! You will be surely missed! RIP Ron.

Ron was literally the best guy ever. I am so grateful that I met him and could call him a friend. He loved Eva so much and then his grandson was born and a new love was unmatched. Sending love to the family. May Ron rest in peace

Ron, I will miss you. Cody will miss you and your God son Landen will miss you. I just saw you the other day driving down main street and it gave me a smile even though you did not see me. You have such a big heart and you can now fly with the angels with NO pain.
