Obituary of Ronald Dale Bilyeu

Ronald “Ron” Dale Bilyeu, 58 years old, passed away on Tuesday, November 9, 2021 in Tulsa, Oklahoma surrounded by family. Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 8, 1963, Ron was the son of Marion Dale and Doris Louise (Devine) Bilyeu. He lived in Owasso, Oklahoma for 21 years and recently celebrated a 30 year anniversary working with the Williams Companies. He graduated from Sooner High School in Bartlesville, Oklahoma in 1982. He completed degrees from Oklahoma State University - Okmulgee in electrical and electronics engineering and a business administration and management degree from the University of Phoenix. Aside from Ron being an outdoorsman with an affinity for fishing and boating, his most passionate desire was to spend time with his daughter Bailee. At every practice, performance, and competition, Ron watched from the sidelines always cheering her on and snapping pictures making himself Bailee’s #1 fan. Ron always looked forward to their Six Flags trips every year, but his most cherished moments were the daddy-daughter dinner dates every weekend. It was common to see social media posts of dinner choices cooked with love for his daughter Bailee. Ron is survived by his daughter Bailee Bilyeu, his former wife Patricia Bilyeu, step-son Brian Olson, his mother Doris Bilyeu, and his brother Jeff Bilyeu, and sister-in-law Paige Bilyeu. He is also survived by his Aunts and Uncle, Beverly and Lynn Mennem and Lana Stites; nieces Ariel and Madeline Bilyeu, Tabitha (Bilyeu) Hernandez; and his cousins Greg Stites, Melanie Asofsky, and Hope Ballard. He was preceded in passing by his father and his paternal and maternal grandparents.
