Ronald L. Priest

Port Townsend, Wash.

May 22, 1930 – Feb. 5, 2017

Ronald LeRoy Priest died peacefully in his sleep on Feb. 5, 2017 surrounded by his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

Ron lived his life to the fullest. He was an avid hunter, fisherman, gardener, golfer and he loved his orchids! He loved hiking in the mountains and riding Honda trail bikes.

He dearly loved his large, extended family. He is survived by his wife Joeen at the family home; son Mark; daughter Kim (Joe); grandson Bryan (Jenny); and great-grandaughter Harper Rose.

The family would like to thank Assured Hospice, especially Tammy, Jodie, Kevin and Christy for the exceptional care they gave Ron, and the support they provided to our family. We would also like to thank Jefferson Healthcare for their services, too. A celebration of Ron's life will be at the Port Townsend Elks Lodge on Saturday, Feb. 18, 2017 from 2 to 5 p.m.
