Ronald earned a Civil Engineering degree from Kansas State University, which laid the foundation for a long and impactful career at the Kansas Department of Transportation. He served as the Assistant Bureau Chief, contributing to the construction and maintenance that shaped the infrastructure of the state highway system. He was a man of few words but when he spoke action followed.

As a young man, tennis was his sport of choice, showcasing his active lifestyle and love for competition. Ronald’s personality was marked by his clarity of thought—he believed in no gray areas, a principle that guided both his professional decisions and personal interactions.

He leaves behind his devoted wife, Marjorie (Griest) Shuberg, and their son, Eric Shuberg. Ronald was preceded in death by his father, Carl Shuberg; mother, Emma (Gerlach) Shuberg; and sister, Marlene Gunnerson.
