Ronald Archer 'Ron' Pincomb

Ronald "Ron" Archer Pincomb, Jr., 55, passed away peacefully at his home with his beloved wife Cecilia "Cissy" Lujan-Pincomb and cherished daughters Melissa and Lauren Pincomb, on July 13, 2009 after his courageous battle with brain cancer. Ron was born June 24, 1954 in Pontiac, Michigan to Ronald and Lu Pincomb, Sr. Ron was the Logistics Supervisor at the NASA White Sands Test Facility where he enjoyed being part of America's space program. He was a loving father, husband, son, and loyal friend. As the eternal optimist, he saw the glass neither half full nor half empty but always full. He was the master of turning any negative conversation into a positive one. He was known for his easy, calm demeanor, that constant smile and quick wit. He lived life to the fullest never wasting a minute almost as if he wanted to get in 100 years of life in fifty. He lived for his family not out of obligation but out of love. He was happiest when he was with his wife and daughters, and when he was hunting, fishing or camping. He rode his bicycle twenty miles three times a week, jeeped, rode motorcycles, had a pilot's license, made custom knives, and those who knew him knew he could not go without his daily ice cream fix. He was unselfish and always willing to help anyone in need. There are not enough words to describe how great a man he was. He will be deeply missed by all his family and friends who knew and loved him. He is survived by his wife, Cecilia, of 30 years; two daughters, Melissa Ruth Lujan Pincomb and Lauren Elise Lujan Pincomb of Las Cruces; his father Ronald Pincomb, Sr. of Las Cruces.
