Ronald Dean Nation, known to friends and family as Ron or Ronnie, disappeared from the Madison, Illinois area in the summer of 2014. He was 48 at the time and was last seen on foot heading southwest toward Madison. The exact date of disappearance is unclear.

At the time he vanished he wore a green camouflage-style shirt, denim pants, a camouflage baseball cap, and white tennis shoes. Ronald was a white male with short spiky brown hair, blue or hazel eyes, and a goatee. He stood 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed 120 to 150 pounds. Distinguishing marks included tattoos reading White Pride down the triceps of both arms, a bat-like tattoo on his left shoulder blade, a Grim Reaper tattoo on his shoulder, a scar on his forehead, a burn scar on the back of his left arm, a scar on his buttocks, and a bent little finger on one hand.

The Pontoon Beach Police Department is the primary agency handling an active missing person investigation. Little public information or confirmed leads have been released, leaving the family without answers.

If anyone saw Ronald in the Madison area in summer 2014 or has information that could help investigators, please come forward.
