Ronald “Ron” Albert Dobbert

   Ronald “Ron” Al­bert Dob­bert, 87, of Mayville, passed away peace­fully on Fri­day, June 21, 2024, sur­rounded by his lov­ing fam­ily.
Ron was born on Au­gust 8, 1936, to Arnold Sr. and Helen (Biertzer) Dob­bert in Mayville.
After grad­u­at­ing from Mayville High School in 1955, he proudly served his coun­try in Alaska until 1957.
On Sep­tem­ber 26, 1959, he mar­ried the love of his life, An­ge­line “Angie” Ertl, and to­gether they built a beau­ti­ful life sur­rounded by fam­ily and friends.
In his early years, while busy rais­ing a fam­ily, Ron was an avid trap shooter. He en­joyed snow­mo­bil­ing, rides on the mo­tor­cy­cle and a good cigar. Many week­ends were en­joyed to­gether, in Shawano.
After 36 years of ser­vice, Ron re­tired from Met­al­craft of Mayville in 1996, as En­gi­neer­ing Man­ager. In his re­tire­ment he found hap­pi­ness in the sim­ple plea­sures of life, whether it was moped rides with his wife, week­ends at their prop­erty in Adams County, pon­toon rides on Cas­tle Rock Lake, coun­try music, a medium rare steak, or an Old Fash­ioned.

   Ron ded­i­cated his life to fam­ily and dis­cov­ered so much joy in sup­port­ing his grand­chil­dren and great-grand­chil­dren in sport­ing events and school ac­tiv­i­ties. He was a ded­i­cated fan.

   To­gether, Ron and Angie looked for­ward to their an­nual trips to Ari­zona to spend time with fam­ily. He was best known as the fam­ily handy­man. His com­pas­sion­ate spirit and will­ing­ness to help oth­ers made a last­ing im­pact on those for­tu­nate enough to know him. While bat­tling ag­gres­sive de­men­tia, he con­tin­ued to show love, com­pas­sion and humor. He is loved deeply by his fam­ily and will be re­mem­bered warmly for his de­ter­mi­na­tion and strong work ethic, along with his gen­eros­ity, knowl­edge, cre­ativ­ity, and fun-lov­ing ap­proach to life.
Ron is sur­vived by his lov­ing wife of 64 years, Angie; chil­dren, Rhonda Schellpf­ef­fer (Gordy) and Mark Dob­bert (Mary Fi­rari); grand­chil­dren, Natasha Mueller (Scott), Nicholas Dob­bert (Amanda) and Devan Schellpf­ef­fer (Tiffany); great-grand­chil­dren, Avery, Vaeda, Hailie, Jaxon, Orrin, Beau and Adley; step-great-grand­son, Logan; his sib­lings, Robert “Bob” Dob­bert (Karen), Arnold Jr. “Skip” Dob­bert (Leone), and Sharon Matt­son (Jim); in-laws, Leone Dob­bert (Skip), Cur­tis Bowen (Cheryl Barna), Tracy Bowen (Lori Papke), Bea Broege, and Mar­garet Phafl. He is fur­ther sur­vived by other fam­ily and friends.
He was pre­ceded in death by his par­ents; his fa­ther-in-law, Al­bert Ertl; mother-in-law, Mary Ertl Bowen; broth­ers in-law, Hank Ertl and Den­nis Ertl; and niece, Janet Ertl.
