Ron was born in Bremerton, WA on March 25, 1943 to his parents Donald and Almina Bingham.

He was a business owner for 30 years and worked for the LDS Church on Temple Square for 10 years.
Ron dedicated his life serving others around him. He had a deep love for his Savior Jesus Christ and tried to pattern his life with the same selfless love and service to others. Ron gave the best “bear hugs”. He had no enemies and would even make a stranger feel important and loved. He has made an impact on all that knew him.

He served as the LDS Regional Representative for the Pacific Northwest as well as the Assistant Council Commissioner for the Evergreen Area Council.
