04-26-2025

Ronald V. Treloar, resident of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, passed away peacefully on April 26, 2025, at Sanford Hospice Cottages. He was 83 years old. He was born on February 23, 1942, to Vernon and Ferne Treloar, Ron grew up in the West Sioux neighborhood, where he made lifelong friends and found a sense of community. 

Ron shared a devoted marriage with Kathleen F. Schmit until her passing in 2018. Together, they owned and operated Omar’s Market, a beloved local business known especially for its great meat. There they not only worked side by side but also raised their family with love and dedication.

Ron is survived by his children: Ronald Treloar, II and Angela Youngdahl (Ben); and his grandchildren: Iris, Lila, Greg, and John. He also held a special place in his heart for his “extra” grandchildren: Hannah, Charlie, and Oasis whose Wednesday visits brought him great joy. His beloved cat, Lassie, was a constant and comforting presence.

He is remembered with love by many siblings, nieces, and extended family members. The family is deeply grateful to all who loved and cared for Ron over the years, especially during the difficult final weeks of his life.

Ron’s legacy lives on in the laughter he shared, the stories he told, and the people around him he loved so fiercely. He is now at peace, reunited with Kathleen. The loss is great but the love is deep. Miss you Papa.

A Memorial Service to honor Ron’s life will be held at Barnett-Lewis Funeral Home Saturday, May 24. Visitation will be 9:00 AM-11:00 AM Memorial Service from 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM. A light lunch reception will follow.
