Ronald “Ron” Lee Mallonee, beloved husband, father, and grandfather, passed away peacefully on June 30, 2025, at the age of 86. Born on June 10, 1939, in Compton, California, he was the
son of Lynn C. and Gwendolyn D. Mallonee (née Ness).

Ron began his career in the aerospace and electronics industry, working with computers at Northrop Nortronics and Rockwell International. In 1975, he relocated his family to Oregon, where he began a new job and earned his electrician’s license. He went on to work at Publisher’s Paper Mill (later known as Smurfit and Blue Heron) and later at Portland General Electric (PGE), where he concluded his career before retiring.

A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Ron served faithfully in the Colton, Molalla, and Canby 3rd Wards (Oregon City, Oregon Stake), and most recently in the Lakes Ward (West Richland Stake).

He is survived by his loving wife, Lindy Mallonee, and his children: Steve Mallonee, Susan Mallonee-Heuer (Gary), Connie Mallonee, Lorinda Mallonee, Cheryl Aarseth (Chris), Julie Mallonee, Chad Gibson (Joylinn), Stacy Davis, Kendra Gibson, and Brad Mallonee (Laura). He also leaves behind twenty-three grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, as well as his brother, Lynn Mallonee.
