Ronald William Pearce Obituary

It is always difficult saying goodbye to someone we love and cherish. Family and friends must say goodbye to their beloved Ronald William Pearce of Oak Park, Illinois, born in Sonora, California, who passed away at the age of 93, on September 19, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Ronald William Pearce to show support.

Though Ronald has departed this earthly realm, his legacy endures — a legacy of love that will continue to illuminate the lives of family and friends in the darkest of hours. May his spirit soar on wings of eternal peace, forever cherished in the tender embrace of memory.

He is survived by: his children, Dawn Pearce Bley, Robin Pearce and Chris Pearce; and his grandchildren, Monica Garcia, Justin Garcia and Emma Bley.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, October 19th 2025 from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM at 1111 Ontario St, Oak Park, IL 60302. The loss of both his brother Donald Pearce and his grandson Mitchell Bley in 2016 were devastating to Ron, as was the loss of his wife Peggy in 2020, whose decline and demise Ron faced by himself with courage during COVID.

Subsequently, he received a prestigious fellowship in public affairs with the Coro Foundation in San Francisco, followed by some years with the California State Legislature.
