Ronald Robert Hegle was born December 30, 1936, in Gwinner, North Dakota to Hjalmer and Josephine (Labounty) Hegle. He grew up in the Gwinner area, and graduated from Elliott High School in 1954. Following his graduation, he was united in marriage to Marilyn D. Hegle at Zion Lutheran Church in Breckenridge. They made their home in Ortonville and Breckenridge for a short time, before moving to Maple Lake in 1969 to raise their family.
