Ronald Lee Yokley

Ron left behind his loving wife of 44 years, Loida, his mother Grace, children, Robert, Karen her husband Jeff, Andrea her husband Alan, along with 8 grandchildren: Stephen, James, Nora, Aidan, Patrick, Brooke, Zach and Adam, his sister, Dianna her husband Ken, and many nieces and nephews. Preceded in death is his father, Lloyd L. Yokley.

Ron loved his family, God and Country, golf, NASCAR, traveling with family and friends, and barbecuing for his family. He was an active member at Fellowship Church in Beaumont, past Board Member of Bellevue Memorial Park, past member of Parkway Kiwanis and served in the National Guard.

Ron was with the Ontario Police Department for 30 years and retired as a Captain. Ron has enjoyed spending time with his many “brothers and sisters in blue” and has benefitted in what they taught him at work and at home.

He will be remembered as a wonderful son, husband & friend, brother, loving dad, loyal & true friend, an amazing, fun & doting “papa” (grandpa), and uncle.

His children will always remember saying that “If you take care of something from the beginning, it’ll last”. This is how he treated his relationships in life as well. He modeled and instilled in them strong character, to do what was right instead of what was easy, to be caring, loving, honest people, and modeled how to love the Lord. Going above and beyond for his family and spending time with them was one of his greatest joys.

A private graveside service will be held at Bellevue Memorial Park in Ontario on August 25th with a Celebration of Life sometime in the coming year.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to either of the following:

Redlands Community Hospital Foundation in honor of Ronald Yokley

Fellowship Church, Beaumont California in honor of Ronald Yokley

He lived a full and happy life.

We have had a full and happy life because of his love.

He is and always will be terribly missed.
