Ronald C. DesJarden, age 85, passed away peacefully on Father’s Day, June 17, 2018. He was born Nov. 7, 1933 in Aurora Ill., attended high school at West Aurora and completed his schooling at Iowa Wesleyan University. Following his several years in the armed services, the proud Korean war veteran began a 50 plus year career as a very successful heavy construction equipment salesman. His career sent his family from Aurora, Ill, to Dayton, Ohio, and then moved west to Tustin, Ca. in 1968. After relocation to Redlands, Ca. he retired in Banning, Ca.
Ron will forever be remembered for his sense of integrity, his honesty, and an unwavering sense of humor that remained until the very end. He appreciated his many vacations, cruises, and travels to destinations he and his wife chose, but mostly he loved his family and his many lifelong friends. He is survived by Janice, his wife of 60 years and sons Phil in Laguna Niguel and Matt in Yucaipa, Ca. Ron will be missed by many.
