Ronnie James Hammond

Long-time Walla Walla resident Ron J. Hammond, 63, passed away at his home March 19,

2021.

Ron was born on November 19, 1957, to Randall and JoAnne Hammond in Rockwood, TN. Ron

grew up in Walla Walla and graduated from WA-Hi in 1976. He received his Journeyman

license and worked for Doyle Electric for many years.

On November 30, 2013, he and Debbie Dohrman were married after being together for 25

years.

Ron had many hobbies, most included being out in his shop. He enjoyed restoring old cars with

his sons, woodworking, and road trips with Debbie. He also took great pride in his meticulous,

weed-free l awn. In his younger days you would find him adventuring off road in his pickup or

riding ATVs and dirt bikes. Ron was a good man, who loved his family and was always willing to

help a friend in need.

Ron is survived by his wife, Debbie Dohrman; his two sons, William (Hope) Hammond and

Brandon Hammond; granddaughter Nora; brother Randy Hammond; two nephews, Matthew

and Nathan Hammond; and mother-in-law Doris Fife. He is preceded in death by his parents.
