Ron Chavey, former PD, Otsego Ski Patrol
Ron joined the National Ski Patrol in 1959 as a member of the Summit Ski Club Ski Patrol neat Fenton. Over his career Ron was a member of the Mt Holly, Sylvan Knob and the Central Division Administrative Patrols before Joining the Otsego Ski Club Ski Patrol in 1974. He served at Patrol Director at Otsego from 1986 to 2010.
Ron was active at all levels of the National Ski Patrol Including Serving as Central Division First Aid Advisor and Chairman of the Nation Ski Patrol Red Cross Liaison Committee.
Ron’s greatest joy was recruiting and training new patrollers. He was a Red Cross First Aid and CPR Instructor and was among the first to bridge to Winter Emergency Care/ Outdoor Emergency Care instruction. He was also an active on-hill instructor and evaluator.
He was awarded three Yellow and one Gold Merit Star for his service to the National Ski Patrol. He received National Appointment 2935 in 1963. Ron was recognized as the National Ski Patrol’s National Outstanding Patroller in 1991.
Russell Chavey posting on behalf of my dad....
Ron Chavey has been dealing with a rapidly progressive dementia for the past three years. Initially he was at Aspen Ridge in Gaylord, then as he became more incapacitated the family moved him to a care center in Grand Blanc to be closer to us. Despite being unable to walk for about a year and then gradually losing the ability to communicate, he has remained quite happy and comfortable throughout this time. He was placed in hospice care several months ago. His 84th birthday was this past December 18 and was celebrated with several family members. That was the last day he was fully awake and able to interact with others. Ron passed away peacefully the evening of January 20th 2016.
There will be a memorial service later this year, after the ski season.
