Ronald Ahlberg July 21, 1955 ~ January 20, 2014 Ronald "Ronnybear" Ahlberg died from complications of muscular dystrophy on Jan. 20 at his home in The Dalles, Ore. Ron was born in Straubing, Germany, on July 21, 1955, and immigrated to the United States in 1959 with his mother, Isolde (Rachny), and father, Albert Ahlberg. The family settled in Prineville, Ore. where Ron attended school and graduated from Crook County High School in 1973. Ron also attended Mt. Hood Community College and became the first in his family to receive a college diploma. He eventually settled in The Dalles, Ore., where he served his community as a member of the City Council, the School Board, and the Planning Commission. Diagnosed with muscular dystrophy as a child, Ron always pushed the limits of his body; he liked cars and motorcycles, he traveled throughout the United States, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, and he even received an award for scuba diving. A musician in school band (saxophone), Ron developed a lifelong love for music, leading him to become a DJ and radio broadcaster for Central Oregon's KRCO while still in high school. In college he refined his broadcasting talent and also learned the art of multi-media communications. He was ultimately hired by his alma mater as a communications technician and he also did freelance work in broadcasting and media. Following his retirement from full-time employment, Ron's skill in technology and communications found a new home with the Muscular Dystrophy Association as he divested himself of his time and talents each year to brighten the lives of hundreds of campers and their families at the MDA summer camps. Ron the techie would transform into "Ronnybear" the camp comedian and compassionate friend. A caring husband, father, and friend, Ron is survived by his wife, Jill Knight-Ahlberg; his children, Mara R. Ahlberg, and Ezekiel T. Ahlberg; and his step-children, Amy Knight and Christopher Knight. He is also survived by his father, Albert & Clara Ahlberg, sister, Debbie (Lee) Ahlberg-Ziegler; brother, Tom (Jenice) Ahlberg; step-brother, Jerry (Justine) Hill; Step-sisters, Sherrie (Ron) Rhoden, and Sheila Small; and numerous nieces and nephews.

  • Volunteering in Oregon Report
    Volunteering in Oregon Strengths and Opportunities in the Nonprofit Sector Prepared for The Oregon Community Foundation by the Center for Improvement of Child and Family Services, Portland State University July 22, 2016 The Oregon Community Foundation has long operated in the belief that community engagement and volunteerism are key elements of healthy, thriving Oregon communities. From 2007 through 2013, with funding from Atlantic Philanthropies, OCF led Oregon’s Boomers and Babies project, a learning community of early childhood education providers that received grants, education and support to engage older adults as volunteers in their programs. The result showed that organizations increased their capacity to serve children and volunteerism by older adults increased substantially. The Oregon Community Foundation continues to explore methods to support Oregon’s nonprofits through effective utilization of volunteer power. Because of the knowledge gained from the Boomers and Babies project, OCF commissioned the Volunteering in Oregon Report to learn more about strengths and opportunities in the nonprofit sector and to take some next steps to support the power of volunteer engagement. Acknowledgements The Portland State University research team would like to thank everyone who participated in the Volunteering in Oregon project: volunteers in communities and Center for Improvement of organizations across the state, volunteer services managers, executive directors, Child and Family Services and additional nonprofit organization staff. Your collective work and impact in School of Social Work Oregon are inspiring. Portland State University 1600 SW 4th Ave., Suite 400 We are especially grateful to have worked with Carly Brown, Caitlin Ruffenach Portland, OR 97201 and Sonia Worcel at The Oregon Community Foundation as partners on this project.
