Jack Bianchi Obituary
Jack was born and raised in Ripon, the devoted son of the late Romeo and Arleene Bianchi. From his earliest days, he was immersed in the life of the family almond ranch, a place that would remain his constant throughout his 78 years. He graduated from Ripon High School in 1965, where he proudly played football, forging friendships, memories and stories that would last a lifetime.
Beyond the ranch, Jack had a passion for sports and was a fan of multiple sports but football was always his favorite. He also possessed a love for travel, embracing opportunities to explore new places. However, his heart always found its greatest joy back on the ranch, surrounded by the laughter and warmth of his cherished friends and family.
Jack is survived by his two sisters, Beverly Muir and Nancy Stahlberg. He will be deeply missed by his three daughters, Erika Gomez (Michael), Emily Bianchi (Marty), and Elizabeth Hodge (Jeremy). His legacy will also live on through his four adored grandchildren: Amanda and Taylor Bennett, and Ian (Annika) and Thane Rough.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Karen Delbon, (married 12/19/1970) who passed away on November 11, 2017. In 2020, Jack found happiness again when he married Marilyn Machado on August 15th. He warmly welcomed Marilyn's children, Matt Machado (Denise) and Monica Lent (Jim), and beloved grandchildren, into his life.
Those who knew Jack will remember his infectious smile and laugh, that could truly fill a room. Though he might have claimed to be reserved around strangers, his genuine kindness and warm actions often spoke volumes, revealing a generous and caring spirit. He was happiest amidst the familiar comfort of his ranch, surrounded by the people he loved.
A celebration of Jack's life will be held at a later date for family and friends.
