Ronald G. Jump

Ron’s Memorial Service will be Saturday, August 8, 2020 at 4pm at The Meadowbrook Inn of Prairie Village, KS. Celebration of Life will continue at the Jump Residence beginning at 5pm in Prairie Village KS. Please wear blue or tropical casual clothing to honor Ron.

Ron was born and spent his childhood in Colorado. Camping and fishing in the National Parks was a highlight of his younger years. He moved to San Diego to attend San Diego State University. He majored in Business Administration and started his career in telecom supply chain and is a CPM. He worked for several large telecom companies and then went into sales mostly targeting startups which was very exciting for him and provided a lot of job opportunity and travel overseas.

Ron’s career in telecom gradually ended and he and his wife decided to invest in property in Prairie Village and do some “flipping”. He had an eye for decorating and could choose finishes, paint, tile, stain and kitchen granite as well as the HGTV celebrities. As the houses were flipped and ready for new occupants he was always friendly to his tenants and really enjoyed encouraging them to buy their own house as their life progressed. He spoke at several conferences attended by prospective flippers and presented his methods of investing.

Ron enjoyed wood working projects, landscaping and planting design, home remodeling and design builds, all Mexican food and cooking and grilling. He grilled all year and also was a pro at homemade fried chicken, stuffing, chicken noodle soup, meatloaf, tacos, ribs, beans, French onion soup and prime rib.

His love of travel and music was infectious. If he wasn’t on an adventure travel trip, he was planning the next one. He liked to attend concerts and traveled to Europe and across the US with his loving wife to attend music venues. Music was his passion and he enjoyed new artists, jazz, R & B, rock and “some” country.

He was preceded in death by his mother Darlene Jump of Colorado.

Ron leaves behind his wife Alison of nearly 15 years, three children, a grandson, his father Jerry Jump, his siblings Cheryl Duval (Don), James Jump (Holly) and his twin Don Jump.

In lieu of flowers Ron’s charity of choice is the Overland Park Arboretum in Overland Park Kansas. He enjoyed the beautiful gardens and walking paths that the Arboretum has created in a rural and beautiful setting. His memory will be kept alive in the trees and plants of the Arboretum.
