Ronald Leroy Jones

Dec. 23, 1938 – March 17, 2026

It is with sadness that the family of Ronald Leroy Jones announces the passing of Ron, 87, on March 17, 2026, at 2 a.m. at the Landmark care facility in Yakima, Washington. Ron was born in Billings, Montana, on Dec. 23, 1938, to LoDeema and Seldon Jones. He was a man of curiosity and intelligence who loved science, technology, music and adventure; an outstanding family man and a local businessman. Ron’s youth was spent in Montana, Idaho and Utah while his father served in the Navy during World War II, before becoming a Western Auto regional manager. The family eventually settled in Grandview, Washington, where Ron graduated with the class of 1958. He attended Washington State University before transferring to the University of Washington in Seattle, where he earned his master’s degree and, in 1963, married the love of his life, Andrea Caren Bolander, “Caren.” They welcomed their first son, Scott, in 1965.
