Ronald Ray Bevars, 81, of Vine Grove, passed away at his home Tuesday, March 11, 2025.
Ron was a well-known Basketball coach at North Hardin High School with a career that spanned 38 years as head coach leading the Trojans to 805 wins, 17 17th District Tournaments titles and 12 5th Region Tournaments titles. In 2015, he was inducted in the KHSAA Hall of Fame and in 2014 he was awarded the National Basketball High School Coach of the Year in Basketball by the National Coach’s High School Association. His impact on players and students was far reaching with his “nuggets of wisdom” and the genuine concern he conveyed.

Committing his life to Christ, he joined Southeast Christian Church where he was baptized.
