Ronald Voth, 61, breathed his last breath in the arms of his wife, LouAnn, Monday, September 22, 2014 after a yearlong battle with cancer. He died as he lived-peacefully. He was surrounded by his two sons, Derek and Trenton. Trenton's wife, Stephanie, joined later.

He was born in Goessel, KS, November 21, 1952 to Charley and Lillian Voth.  He graduated Tabor College, 1975, with a BA in Chemistry, obtained his Medical Technology training at St. Francis Regional Medical Center, and in 1986, completed a Master of Health Science Degree from WSU. He worked as a Medical Technologist for Hertzler Clinic for 16 years, and then became Laboratory Manager at Halstead Hospital in 1992. In 2000, he moved to Wesley Medical Center in hemotology and flow cytometry. But the central aspect of his life was his dedication to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, which he expressed in issues of justice, truth, and peace, and as a member of Koerner Heights Mennonite Brethren Church in Newton, KS.

His mother survives him as well as his brother, Steven and wife Wynette, Walton, and sister, Jana and husband Mike Voth, Wichita, along with 10 nieces and nephews.
