Ron Haskell

Ron Haskell, 61, beloved companion, friend and brother passed away at La Posada Hospice on November 2, 2024. He is survived by his Lifetime Companion of 37 years Jeffrey Manier, his brothers Robert (Rob) Hulse Jr, Richard Hulse, Randy Hulse, sister Robin Hulse as well as multiple nieces, nephews and grands. Of all of Ron's many loves, gardening bloomed above them all. He would shape and transform every place he called home into a garden paradise. When a flower would bloom, he would make sure the World knew of its beauty and uniqueness, through video, picture or pulling Jeffrey outside to see the new addition, Ron made sure to share his love of all living things of this Earth. If he wasn't in the yard tending to its needs, he would be in his second favorite place; the kitchen, where he would be searching for new dishes to create and sample from the near endless drawers, cabinets and shelves of cookbooks he had collected over these many years. 

A special thank you to all of the staff at La Posada Hospice who helped keep Ron comfortable and without pain in his last few days with us. As a final wish, Ron wanted La Posada to keep his beautiful Zee Zee plant we brought with us so to help lighten up others as it did the staff. Alas, that was not possible so the plant was brought home, re-potted and the "new" ones given in love to the staff of La Posada - Bless them all.

Services will be held graveside at 2pm, November 15th, 2024 at the Masonic Cemetery in Las Cruces New Mexico. 

Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold.  Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf, So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day Nothing gold can stay. -Robert Frost
