Ronald Lynn Kuepker

Ronald Lynn Kuepker, 77, of Oklahoma City, died peacefully surrounded by loved ones, on November 2, 2026

Born on July 31, 1949, to Billie Joe & Bernice Beatrice, Ronnie brought immense joy, love, and laughter to everyone who knew him. Ronnie was a friend of Bill W for 37 years, giving the program all the credit for turning his life around and living a life of gratitude. Ronnie made multiple lifelong friendships in the program. After graduating from Capitol Hill High School in 1967, Ronnie served in the United States Army with a tour to Vietnam.

After returning, Ronnie went on to pursue a lifelong carrier in the flooring industry—ultimately, being owner/operator of Capital Carpet until his retirement. Once retired, Ronnie enjoyed riding motorcycles, bicycles, and spending time with family and friends. His greatest joy was his family; especially watching his grandkids grow up.

Ronnie was a deeply passionate man who found happiness in spending time with his friends from Bill W and spending time with his family. His warm smile, generous spirit, and unwavering strength are profoundly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Ronnie is survived by his loving wife Deanie Kuepker; daughters Trina and husband Thailar, Kelly & wife Siobhan Cowan; grandchildren, Dalton & Madison Krase, Korbie Krase & Dakota Castle and Presley Jones, great-grandchild KJ and sibling Joe and his wife Karen; including many nieces and nephews. Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents, Billie Joe & Bernice “Bea”, brother Billy Michael, sister Virginia Neal and former wife Johnnie Kuepker.

A celebration of Ronnie's life will be held at a later date.

We would like to offer a special thank you to Sherry, David and Gary.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, PO Box 5014, Hagerstown, MD 21741, a cause that was very close to the family’s heart.
