Ron Teufel: 1957-2002

On December 22nd, 2002 Roland S. (Ron) Teufel died at the age of 45. A former Teenage Mr. America and Mr. USA titleholder, Ron was known for having one of the most massively dense physiques of the late 70's-early 80's.

In addition to his excellent overall development Ron featured one of the top abdominal regions in bodybuilding history. With his All-American good looks and bad boy persona he became a popular cover model and bodybuilding personality.

While Ron's wins will forever place him in the annals of bodybuilding history his five runner-up placings in the Mr. America contest may best characterize him for his persistence and winning attitude.

Ron is survived by his parents Alfred and Carol Teufel, brothers Bruce, James, and Thomas Teufel and sister Terri McGlynn as well as by his many nieces and nephews. He will be sadly missed by his best friend and companion, Darby.
