July 21, 1940 — November 6, 2024

Courtland, KS

Ronald Paul Fredrickson, 84, of Courtland, Kansas, passed away at his home on November 6, 2024. He was the middle child, born on July 21, 1940, in rural Courland to Paul and Clarice (Nelson) Fredrickson.

Ron started his education in a country school before attending school in Courtland schools where he graduated from Courtland High School in 1958. While in high school, Ron had a small hog operation and helped Loren Austin as a farm hand. After graduation, he joined the Kansas Bostwick Irrigation District in 1961 where he enjoyed a 48-year career, retiring in 2006.

On June 4, 1971, he was united in marriage to Rosanna Larson at the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Salina, Kansas. They were married until her death in 2014. This union brought two sons, Jon and Jeremy.

He was an active member of the Courtland United Methodist Church and served on various functions.

Ron enjoyed farming and working on projects where he could run the excavator. He rarely missed a Sunday at church or a KU or K-State game on TV. He was most proud of his grandson Carter and spoiled him every chance he could.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Rosanna Fredrickson, his parents, and his brother, Reverend Jimmie Fredrickson. Ron will be missed by his sons Jon Fredrickson, Duluth, MN, and Jeremy Fredrickson (Amanda), Scandia, KS; grandson Carter Fredrickson; and sister Janice (Tom) Chandler; nieces and nephews; many other relatives and a community of friends.
