Veteran remembered after death from cancer
Minneapolis native and Air Force veteran Derek Ronning passed away on Dec. 17, after a fight against pancreatic cancer. The lifelong Vikings fan is missed by many.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – Derek Ronning, a lifelong Vikings fan and Minneapolis native, passed away earlier this month after a drawn-out battle with pancreatic cancer. His impact on the lives of those around him remains profound.

What they’re saying: “He would give you the shirt off his back. He opened up his home to people when they needed it,” Ronning’s colleague Amanda Arndt said.
According to his obituary, Ronning graduated from Montevideo High School in 1986. He went on to touch the world by helping those around him.
“There’s parts of Derek with everything we do. Every day, every part of work, he was the best of the best. There was no other Derek Ronning, and nobody will fill those shoes. It’s something that we treasure and take with us every day of work, and every day outside of work.” Arndt said.
Ronning served in the United States Air Force for 26 years, retiring as a senior master sergeant. He then went on to work as a 911 dispatcher in South Dakota.
On Sunday, at the Vikings’ final regular season home game, Arndt made sure Ronning was there – at least in spirit. She wore a custom jersey with Ronning’s name on the back to the game. “He was a huge Vikings fan. He grew up as a Vikings fan and lived as a Vikings fan. That was one of the last things he did—watch the Vikings game before he passed,” she said.

Less than a week after a blizzard and subzero temperatures, the mercury officially soared to 77 degrees at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Saturday, breaking a record set 88 years ago in the Twin Cities.
On March 21, 1938, the recorded high was 76 degrees, according to the National Weather Service Twin Cities office.
“We went from a blizzard and lows below zero to near record warmth in just 6 days,” a KSTP meteorologist posted on X. “Now THAT is March Madness!”
The weather service said cooler temperatures are expected for the rest of the week and that other than a small chance the Twin Cities will see rain tonight, the rest of the week remains “quiet” weather-wise.
The area is looking at a possible high of 45 degrees on Sunday, a potential high of 55 on Monday, and a possible 60 degrees on Tuesday, the weather service said. Those days will most likely have partly cloudy skies, as well.
