Ronald Calvin Pedersen, 85 of Arnegard, ND passed away on December 25, 2021 at his home in the presence of family.

Ron was born on September 2, 1936 to Anton and Alice (McCowan) Pedersen in Alexander, ND. He was the 2nd of 5 boys in his family. He was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church in Alexander. He enjoyed playing basketball and football and graduated in 1954 from Alexander High School. While growing up, their home was a gathering place for many cousins and other family members and friends. He worked for numerous farmers before he entered the Army. When he returned from the Army, he worked for Roger Sanders and was a part of their family. During this time, he and his brothers traveled South for custom combining using John Deere 55 combines. He then made his way back to harvest crops for Roger. His love of all the harvest time activities continued throughout his life.

He married Adell Mjelstad on June 2, 1969 in Alexander at Trinity Lutheran. Ron “Ronnie” worked at the True gas plant for 20 plus years prior to retiring. He and Adell farmed and ranched their entire married life and continued to do so up until his death. Ron was a member of Wilmington Lutheran Church, the Arnegard LIONS club and served on the McKenzie County School District Board. He enjoyed hunting with his kids and grandkids, attending sporting events for them, reading Westerns, watching a variety of TV programs and visiting with friends and family.

Ron is survived by his wife Adell of rural Arnegard, son Kevin (Susan) Mjelstad, Fargo, ND, son Kent (Anita) Pedersen, rural Arnegard, grandsons Grant (Taylor), Clark and Brock Mjelstad of Fargo, granddaughter and grandson, Jordyn and Luke Pedersen, rural Arnegard and great granddaughter Ellen Mjelstad, Fargo.
