Ronald Glenn Hiett

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved hero, husband, father, and mentor Ron Hiett. After a 3 year battle with Leukemia he passed away peacefully on 7/8/18, surrounded by him family and in great comfort. He was a fighter until the very end and he will be sorely missed.

Ron was born in Etna, CA in July of 1952 to parents Glenn and Theadora Hiett. Ron joined the Army in July of 1972 and served until December of 1975 when he was honorably discharged. While serving in the Army he met and married his only love Monika. The two were married in 1973 and moved from Germany back to the States.

After serving in the military Ron attended Shasta College and BYU. Later he worked as a General Contractor, a coach to all his children’s sporting teams and lived every day to serve those around him. His legacy of generosity, kindness, patience and his willingness to always mend a “broken wing” will always be remembered. His smile would always light up a room and instantly make people feel comfortable with him. His giant bear hugs were a thing to be treasured. If you knew him you loved him and he loved you. His children and grandchildren were his greatest treasures and he took great pride in them. Ron loved to hunt and fish and play pinochle. He was an avid San Francisco Giants and Oakland Raiders fan.

Ron, the patriarch of the Hiett family, is survived by his wife Monika, sons Christopher (wife Carolynn) and Steven (wife Amy) and daughters Wendy, Allison (husband Devorian), Desiree. His grandchildren Jaiden, Collin, Elijah, Kendall, Kalani, Mary, Trinity, Dominik, Kaysen, Aria, Kylea, Ruby, and Amari. His mother Theodora Hiett and siblings Richard, Susan, Alisa, Roger, and Teresa. He preceded in death by his Father Glenn Hiett and grandson Seeley Hiett.
