Ronald Folk Sr

Bryan was born to George Ronald Folk and Betty Simms in the great state of Alabama in the fine town of Birmingham. Bryan and his father soon left Alabama as George was an over the road truck driver. Bryan was raised in his younger years by his father and his father's siblings until George met the love of his life Dianne Domire. These two would wed and Dianne would raise Bryan as her own son, anyone that knows Bryan can attest to this. He always claimed Dianne was his real mother.

The three moved from place to place, wherever the work would take them. One of these places was Bryan's favorite and that was Lewistown, MT. Bryan would tell stories about fishing the creek all the way from his house to school and back, having many fish fries, and days spent in the beautiful Montana sunshine. Eventually, the three settled in Rudyard, MT, and a little brother was born, Kory Folk. Bryan loved his little brother with all his heart and was proud of the many accomplishments his brother Earned Both in sports and life.

Bryan also Bryan Grew up with another brother, though not blood, you couldn't tell the difference. He and Kelly Domire would work on Bryan's uncle, Kelly's dad's farm. Uncle Joe was a great man in Bryan's life, and he would recount him with great stories of work and family and always treated Bryan fairly like the rest of the kids.

Bryan went on to attend high school in White Water, MT where he was a basketball star and a hell-raiser off the court. He had many friends and could procure almost any item they requested earning him the nickname "ACE" because he always produced at that time. He was also in the Army National Guard completing his service and receiving an honorable discharge. Bryan has held many jobs in his life, he worked in the oil fields with his best friend "Skip” Robert Walsh for a time as well as working on the railroad. Bryan also built grain bins with his other best friend Jim Waggoner. He even moonlighted as a bouncer with his partner Pat Zeman, being known as the best " Cooler" in the game.

He wore a million hats over the years but his favorite one was driving semi-truck over the road. He was the best at it, if you asked him who was better out of him and his daddy, he would tell you his dad off G.P. but anyone who has ridden with him or watched him hit a dock with ease could debate. The million-mile man even holds a company record or fastest time from Billings, MT, to Chicago, IL. "18 hours all-natural," he used to say.

Anyone who was ever a pal with him in his outlaw days can also attest that his track record is unblemished as well as filled with many medals for valor and conduct. Bryan was an even better family man above all else. He had one love of his life, Robin Morin, who gave him the joys of his life Jacob Folk and Ronald Bryan Folk Jr.

Bryan loved many things, he was an avid outdoorsman, he loved to fish and hunt he also liked to camp and cruise around any terrain he was observing at the time. He liked to listen to his music loudly and shoot his guns. He was an excellent bowler and pool player. He also loved a good party, anyone who knows him knows how much he loved a good party. The ole "White Russian" could out-drink men half his age and still dance a ditty across the floor for some more. To his friends and loved ones, he will always be the lead Horseman, and no one could do it better.

Bryan's life was filled with many ups and downs, but the constant was love for family, honor, and code. He wouldn't compromise them for anything or anyone, no matter who liked it or didn't. A rarity in this day and age. He had a lot of extended family and adopted sons and daughters. Many he met through his two sons, but they became family just the same and Bryan would go through any extent he could to help them. He also loved kids. He was kind to them and protected them. He had his three grand babies Kingston Folk, Krimson Folk, and Kenedy Folk, who he loved and doted on. He would tell them stories and let them watch their cartoons and play with toys.
