Ron Buswell lives on in our hearts, beloved and remembered for being an inspirational leader and the most dedicated volunteer Habitat Monterey Bay has ever known. Referred to by many as a gentle giant, he was warm and encouraging, supporting other volunteers while becoming a master of all aspects of building.

 

In his eleven years with Habitat, Ron served in multiple roles, as Board Member, Board Chair, and Interim Executive Director for six months while the Board searched for a new leader. Serving on almost all committees, he showed his dedication, commitment, and selflessness. He worked on multiple Habitat construction sites, learning as he went, becoming a trusted member of the crew.

​

Rodeo Creek Court has been under development since August 2020, and it would not have been possible without Ron steering the project in the early days and supporting the work until his passing in Sept 2021.

​

As we complete this project, we honor Ron's legacy with a community garden for residents at RCC to enjoy for years to come. We invite you, our community, to help dedicate the Ron Buswell Community Garden nd be a part of history by buying a brick with your name to lay the pathway to the garden.
