Ron Dahlquist, 75, passed away October 30 after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He was a gifted photographer who had a passion for photographing sports, people and beautiful landscapes around the world. He was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Southern California. He began surfing as a teenager and he wanted to be able to share with his parents, the sport that he loved. His father bought him his first camera and he started taking pictures of his friends surfing. He sold two pictures to a local surf magazine, “Surf Guide”, and he thought that perhaps he could make money as a photographer. That first photo sale ignited a career in photography that spanned over 50 years.

For many years, Ron followed the seasons with his photography. He began traveling to Hawaii in the late 60’s to shoot surfing on the north shore of Oahu, skiing in Colorado in the winter, kayaking in the rivers of Colorado in the spring and windsurfing in the summer.

In the early 70’s, he moved from California to Steamboat Springs, Colorado where he became the corporate photographer at Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He spent the winters, photographing professional athletes and friends, skiing and snowboarding through endless powder.

In the summer of 1987, Ron met his future wife and business partner while windsurfing on Maui. Shortly after meeting Sharon, he sold his home in Colorado and moved to Maui. For many years, Ron continued to photograph action photos but he also began branching out into beautiful landscape pictures and travel photography. He loved to travel and captured so many exquisite moments with his camera. Ron appreciated the beauty in nature with every part of his soul. For Ron, photography wasn’t a job, it was his passion.

Ron is survived by his wife, Sharon and son, Scott. He also has two children from a previous marriage, Toby (Aida) Dahlquist and Erica Dahlquist. Brother, Ken Dahlquist (Kagey) and Luann Yourkwitz.

Due to Covid-19, a Celebration of Life may be held at a later date in time. Memorial donations may be made to: Assistance Dogs of Hawaii, PO Box 1803, Makawao, HI 96768
