Ronald DeLude passed away February 23rd 2018 in Vancouver, Washington after a valiant fight with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He was born in Salo, Minnesota to Tim and Cecilia (Marcoulier) DeLude. He grew up in Bend, Oregon with his brother Ray (Teresa) and sister Glorianne, both surviving him.
Ron was a numbers guy so a life of banking was a perfect fit. He was a problem solver, always available for advice or a tool. It always pleased him when there was an opportunity to buy food or gas for someone in need.
His banking career took him to different banks, starting in Bend, then to Klamath Falls, La Grande, Salem, and Forest Grove where he was on the school board and a charter member of the Rotary sponsored Concours d'elegance. Then he was on to Portland, Vancouver and Medford.
Ron loved anything with wheels, motors and wings. Helping to build an airplane or sailing his boat was great fun. He was a "detail" person who loved to polish and shine everything. He loved his family, attending their games, swim meets and concerts, slipping a few bucks to each of them.
Ron is also survived by his wife of 59+ years, Alma (Still); daughter, Kristi (Jim); son, Randy (Janet); granddaughter, Mariah; and grandsons, Dakota and Hunter; and many cousins on the Marcoulier side.
Our family would like to thank Salmon Creek Hospice, especially Holly, who gave so much service and spiritual support. We would also like to thank Father W. R. Harris, Pastor of the Porto-Cathedral of St. James for being there when we needed him the most.
At Ron's request there will be no formal service. He will be interned at Willamette National Cemetery, Portland Oregon. His military service was as a Navy Corpsman assigned to a Marine unit. He was proud to have served.
