Ron V Mele, 72, passed away peacefully on May 8, 2025 in Chandler, Arizona. He was born to Tony and Lillian Mele in Salt Lake City, Utah. Ron is survived by his brother Kevin, Kevin’s wife Linda, nephew Paul, nieces Savannah, Camille her husband Branden and sons Asher and Leo. Ron led a very active and adventurous life. He worked as a tile setter on multi-million dollar homes in Utah and Arizona. In retirement, he started making ceramic kachinas and beautiful glass mosaics. He loved to travel and played golf in every state except Alaska. A celebration of life (a party) is what Ron wanted, instead of a funeral. He was a special person and our lives are better because of his kindness and generosity.
