Ronnie Lee Mosser, age 77, of rural Geneva, IN, passed away on Sunday, October 19, 2025 at his home on Pleasant Ridge Farm. He was born on Monday, July 5, 1948, in Decatur, IN. to the late Hugh David and Catherine Lucille (Fields) Mosser. Ronnie graduated in 1966 in the last class of Geneva High School where he was class President and attended Purdue University. He served his country in the Army National Guard. He attended The Bridge Community Church in Berne. He served as the FFA State president in 1968. Ronnie pursued a dairy farming, milking, and breeding Jersey Cattle career. For more than two decades Ronnie served the American Jersey Cattle Association (AJCA) as a Senior Traits Appraiser and Area Representative, logging thousands of miles and tens of thousands of cows across the country. His steady work ethic and deep cow sense made him a cornerstone of the AJCA classification program. He set a standard not just for how to evaluate cattle, but for how to live with purpose. Ronnie's passion carried him far beyond Indiana as he bred and exhibited many champion Jerseys on all levels and held the honors of premier breeder at many places including the Royal Winter Fair and The World Dairy Expo for 3 consecutive years. He judged shows at every level- across the U.S. and internationally in Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Guatemala- and stood in the center ring at events like the National Jersey Jug Futurity and the Premier National Junior Jersey Show. Yet, even on the biggest stage, he never lost sight of cows- or the kids- who made it all matter. Ronnie was a member of the Berne American Legion.

He will be sadly missed by his children, Jennifer (Noble) Zimmerman, Lipan, TX, Bridget Mosser, Berne, IN, B.J. Mosser, Fairbury, IL, Tony (Natasha) Mosser, Geneva, IN, Jobetha (Ben) Ford, Decatur, IN, and Ronilea "Roni" (Keith Sprunger) Mosser, Geneva, IN, sister, Judi (Mark) Merkel, Geneva, IN, 24 grandchildren, and11 great grandchildren. Ron will also be missed by countless other friends whom he loved as if they were family.

He was preceded in death by his father, Hugh David Mosser, and mother, Catherine Lucille (Fields) Mosser.
