Ron Joe Perdue was born in Astoria, Ore-
gon, on Aug. 11, 1958, to Raymond and Hazel
Perdue (Mobley). He was a Clatsop County
resident his entire life.
Ron graduated from Warrenton High
School in 1976. He married Susan Turnbull in
April 1977, and they had three children. Ron
worked most of his adult life at the Warren-
ton Sawmill.
He enjoyed spending time with his fam-
ily, camping and riding anything equipped
with a motor. He especially favored quads,
UTV’s and motorcycles. Ron had quite a gift
for teaching others how to ride, and his pas-
sion for this pastime gave confidence to any-
one willing to learn. He wanted everyone else
to share in his enthusiasm for riding.
In addition to his love of life and his family,
Ron was perhaps best known for his unfiltered
sense of humor.
Ron lived in the Lewis and Clark area of
Astoria at the time of his death, and enjoyed
how peaceful it was there. He passed on Aug.
19, 2018, at the age of 60, after a brief battle
with cancer. He was surrounded by those he
loved. At the time of his passing, he was very
concerned about the love of his life.
