Our colleague and friend Ron lost his oldest son, Ronnie Jr., in a tragic snowmobile accident near their cabin in Colorado over this past Christmas holiday.

From the Cortez Journal: Search for missing snowmobiler turns into recovery effort

Ron Sr. has been mounting a costly recovery-effort at his own expense to bring his boy home to the family and friends that love him so much. These efforts have been made even more difficult, and expensive,  as storms move through Colorado and the ice thickens on Groundhog Reservoir.

To help Ron and his family in this most difficult time, we have taken up collections around the office but we would like to extend the opportunity to contribute to an effort to give back to the family of an Air Force veteran and beautiful soul.  The search and recovery costs are mounting beyond what anyone should have to burden alone.

For this reason,  we are are setting up this GoFundMe account as a way for friends and family to show their love and support for our incredible friend Ron who means the world to us.  Ron has been a friend and mentor to so many in his hometown of Katy, Texas and in the international Oil and Gas exploration community that it would mean so much to his family to let them know that they are not alone in their loss.

Please, keep in mind that no donation is too small and all are deeply appreciated. Together we can provide tremendous financial relief for Ron and his family.
