Ronald Yasui Obituary
It is with great sadness that the family of Ronald Yasui announces his passing on Sunday, August 23, 2020. Ronald will be forever remembered by his brother Kenneth (Joann), his nephews, Shawn, Timothy and his sister Alice. Ronald will also lovingly be remembered by his students and dear friends.
A native of Seattle, Ronald attended Washington State University and University of Washington. Soon after he joined the Peace Corps and served in South America for two years. Ronald taught countless students at Maplewood Heights Elementary School for many years until he retired. In his free time, he liked to run. The Boston Marathon was one of the events he ran in.
Ronald will be remembered as a cheerful and dedicated person to all of us, and he will be missed immensely. A private family memorial and interment was held at the Evergreen Washelli Cemetery. Remembrances in Ronald Yasui's name may be made to the Maplewood Heights Elementary School, 130 Jericho Ave. NE, Renton, WA 98059.

I am so saddened to hear of Ron’s passing. He was an amazing person. So full of energy. Nothing slowed him down.
His students were his life the year he had them. He cared deeply for each and every one of them.
We had many good times at Maplewood Heights. He was a loyal Cougar fan, and took my teasing about Apple Cup well.
You will be deeply missed my friend. RIP. I’d like to extend my sincerest condolences to the Yasui family.

Ron will be missed so much. His greatest joy was teaching and he was the best.
I taught with Ron at Maplewood and we became close friends. His kindness and sharing outshined everyone. Going out of his way to help others was so natural for him. I can’t count the number of times he problem-solved with me. The word ‘awesome’ does not do him justice—he was better than awesome.
I will miss him and I send my sympathies to his family he always spoke so lovingly about. I miss my friend so much. We all loved him.
