Ron, your smile, good humor, dedication, will be missed. You made a positive impact in our lives. Though our "family" has a huge void that can never be filled, you will remain in our minds, hearts and thoughts for eternity. God has summoned you and I'm sure he has a special motor waiting for you...
Rest in Peace, brother

Ron,
I still can't believe you are gone. I just talked to you right before your accident. As usual you were smiling and happy. Thank you for being my friend. You are truly missed. I take comfort knowing you are in Heaven looking down on all of us. God Speed Ronnie.

On behalf of the men and women of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Industry Station, our condolences to the family, friends, and co-workers of Deputy Ron Ives. Having recently tragically lost Deputy Mike Arruda (EOW 06-15-04), we know all too well the pain and reality of losing one of our own. Please take comfort from knowing your entire law enforcement family grieves with you.
God bless, Deputy Ives. Rest in peace.

“REMEMBER ME”
Law enforcement officers are, indeed, a special breed of people. Ask anyone on the street and they will tell you that they would not have our jobs for anything in the world. It takes something special to do what we do and at the same time be able to even contemplate retirement. We try to be optimists. Unfortunately, there are a few of us who will never make that date with retirement. By the very nature of our job, we are at risk everyday of losing our lives, either at the hand of some deranged individual or in some other situation that we, by virtue of our occupation, may be unable to avoid. Some people have recognized the hazardous duties we involve ourselves in, the risks we take, and the pride we take in accomplishing that job. There is National Law Enforcement Week, dedicated to us who gladly accept the responsibility of protecting the citizens in our respective jurisdictions. National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Day is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the line of duty. These are but a two examples of remembrances specifically for law enforcement personnel. Remembrances that come but once a year. We should remind fellow officers of another type of remembrance, one that will last a lifetime. Sooner or later, a doctor will pronounce us dead. It is inevitable. Regardless of whatever happens, death is the end we will all have to face.
