Ronald Judson Kriloff, faithful husband, constant father, and patriotic Marine, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2025, surrounded by family.

Ron was born July 10,1943, in Astoria, New York to Eleanor and George Kriloff. He was the proud eldest brother of the four boys: Ron, Jerry, Rich and Brian. He was drafted into the Army, but ultimately decided to join and serve in the Marine Corps instead. He was a proud Marine, faithfully completing his year tour, during the Vietnam War. After active-duty service, he was diligently engaged in the United States Armed Services, both in the Army National Guard and Air Force Reserve. He was granted a full military retirement, totaling 23 years of military service. 

Following the war, he returned home and attended college in New Mexico at the College of Santa Fe. It was there that he met his sweetheart Diane and the two were married on May 12, 1970. The next day, the couple moved west, quickly creating a life in Arizona.

Ron lived a life marked by quiet strength, unwavering devotion, and service—to his country, his faith, and most of all, his family.  He is survived by his faithful wife Diane of 55 years and sons Sean (Jennifer), Ryan, Russ (Shannon), and Adam (Felicia), and 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. 

A devoted husband and father, Ron was proud of his family, always involved, putting their needs before his own. He was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, sealed in the Mesa Temple on May 18, 2002. He served in various roles over the years, never seeking recognition, rather quietly and reliably, fulfilling whatever responsibilities were asked of him. 

He will be deeply missed, but his legacy of faith, patriotism, and service will live on through his family and among all who were blessed to know him. 

The celebration of life will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Adobe Building at 2152 East Adobe, Mesa, AZ 85213 on Saturday, September 20, 2025.  The public viewing will be from 9:00 to 9:30 AM.  The funeral service will start at 10 AM. 

Ron will be buried in full military honors on Monday, September, 22, 2025 at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona located at 2929 East Pinnacle Peak Road, Phoenix, AZ 85024.
