Ron and Carol lived in Houston for 30 years, raising their two daughters, Karen and Kathy. In 1993, they moved into a home Ron designed himself in College Station, where he lived close to his cherished A&M and friends both old and new. Ron loved music and was blessed with a beautiful singing voice. He loved being outdoors and recognized God’s presence through the beauty of nature. His passion for travel led him to visit every state in America. His accomplishments as a photographer allowed him to chronicle those vacation experiences as well as Texas A&M sports. He used his unique artistic ability for many years by painting personalized awards that were presented at A&M sports banquets to senior athletes. He loved Texas A&M, never missing a home or away game for nearly 40 seasons. His most recent contribution to his alma mater was serving as a volunteer in the sports museum. Along with his wife Carol, Ron was a member of Christ United Methodist Church in College Station where he sang in the choir for many years and was a member of the Christian Collage Sunday School Class. Ron was preceded in death by his parents, George Robert Harrod and Ruby Aderholt Harrod; Carol’s parents, Arthur and Marie North; and his sister, Rosemary Huiet. Survivors include his loving wife, Carol North Harrod of College Station; daughter Karen and her husband Gary High of Atlanta; daughter Kathy and her husband Steve Newland of Keller; and treasured grandchildren, Catherine and Camille High, and Garrett and Jack Newland. His brother George Robert Harrod Jr., sister-in-law Françoise, and niece Florence survive him also. The family would like to extend their sincerest gratitude to the staff of Hospice Brazos Valley for their exceptional care.
