Ralph Eugene Ashton, beloved husband, father, and friend. Born in Germany, Ralph immigrated to California where he eventually made Yucaipa his home for over 50 years.

In 1976, Ralph married the love of his life, Lynda Jo Ashton, in the beautiful state of Montana. Together, they built a life in Yucaipa rooted in love, family, and hard work. They raised two children, Tyson and Haylee Ashton, and created a lifetime of memories in their Yucaipa home until 2015.

Ralph was a dedicated business owner and proud founder of Yucaipa Concrete, which he successfully operated for 30 years. Known for his strong work ethic and craftsmanship, Ralph left his mark—quite literally—on the foundations of his community.
Outside of work, Ralph was a passionate Harley-Davidson enthusiast. He found freedom on the open road and joy in collecting and riding his bikes, especially his treasured “Iron Horse.”

Ralph will be remembered for his rugged spirit, generous heart, and unwavering love for his family. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched, the roads he traveled, and the family he adored.
He is survived by his wife Lynda Jo Ashton, his children Tyson and Haylee, and many friends and family who will miss him deeply.
