Sen. Moran Statement on Passing of Ron Rahjes

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today released the following statement on the passing of Ron Rahjes of Kensington:

"I am saddened by the passing of my friend Ron Rahjes, who I knew for more than 30 years. His life is an example of the difference one person can make in their community and in the lives of others. Born and raised in Kensington, Ron was passionate about preserving the rural way of life in Kansas, working on the family farm, supporting the agriculture community and graduating in the very first class of the Kansas Agriculture and Rural Leadership Program. He was a man of faith, a devoted member of his church and a beloved husband and father. Ron never met a stranger, and he treated everyone with respect and kindness. Robba and I are praying for his wife Cynthia and their children and grandchildren. He will be deeply missed."
