Jay Preston

Jay William Preston, 91, who with his wife Beth, built a successful telephone company in Ronan and devoted over five decades to the Mission Valley through numerous civic and charitable activities, passed away of natural causes on June 3, 2019, at St. Luke Hospital with his family at his side. During a long, full life, he served his country, his community and his family with integrity and an unquenchable faith that life is good. His boundless energy — a marvel to all who knew him — was epitomized by the simple but powerful words: “Show up!”
