He was predeceased by his mother Nola Ashley and Father Joseph H. Ashley, sisters: Evelyn and Barbara; brothers Lonnie and Dale Ashley.

He moved to Yakima WA at a young age with his family from Arkansas. He loved working in his orchards and running a successful fruit stand in Naches, WA. He built many connections and found life long friends within the fruit industry. Our father was the most generous man and would do anything to help out a family or our friends. He is considered by many as a second dad. He will be truly missed by so many.

A service will be held at Terrace Heights Memorial Park Friday September 3rd at 2pm, with a celebration of life to follow at his son’s Ryan Ashley’s residence, 220 Rosenkrantz Rd, Naches WA 98947.
