Ronald Chris Hoffman, age 76, passed away on October 31, 2024, in Mapleton, Utah. Born on April 17, 1948, in Spanish Fork, Utah, Ronald was a man of remarkable character and dedication, known for his hardworking and protective nature.
Ronald’s early life in Spanish Fork was marked by his achievements in sports, excelling in football, baseball and wrestling at Spanish Fork High School. He furthered his education at Utah State University, where he earned a degree in manufacturing engineering, which paved the way for his long and successful career at Geneva Steel, where he dedicated 35 years.
Aside from his professional life, Ronald was a devoted family man, survived by his loving wife, Roxann Fraughton Hoffman, whom he married on December 16, 1978. He was also survived by his brother Michal Hoffman. He was a proud father to Shanoa Allowitz, Trent Hoffman, and Dirk Hoffman, the latter of whom preceded him in death, as did his parents, Bud and Ruth Hoffman, and his brothers, Brad, Craig, and Thayne Hoffman. Ronald’s life was further enriched by his grandchildren, McKenzie, Gabe, Porter, Béla, and Ellie, all of whom brought him immense joy.
An Eagle Scout in his youth, Ronald carried the values of scouting throughout his life, which were evident in his love for the outdoors. He was an avid fisherman and hunter, and he cherished camping and boating trips with his family, especially to Lake Powell, which were among his favorite vacation destinations.
Ronald’s life will be honored at Walker’s Mortuary in Spanish Fork, Utah November 8th at a visitation from 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m., and then funeral services will begin at 11:00 a.m. His legacy of dedication, and love for his family will be remembered by all who knew him.

November 8, 2024 at 5:58 pmRoxann and Ron are the most kind and dear people who demonstrate love and kindness. Ron accepted our family with grace and love. Roxann and Ruth would get together at the Holidays to spend hours to make Christmas chocolates for gifts. They were the best! The Hoffman’s exude sweetness, just like those chocolates
