Bill Jergens Obituary, Death – William P. “Bill” Jergens passed away peacefully in Troy, Ohio on December 11, 2023. His age was 69. He had an infectiously kind spirit and a laugh that could light up any room. Dayton, Ohio was the site of Bill’s birth on August 25, 1954. Perseverance and the pursuit of one’s deepest desires are recurring themes in his life. After Bill graduated from Chaminade High School in 1972, he began his experience.
He quickly started to display the charisma and leadership qualities that would define him. He has left an indelible mark on the Dayton area since assuming ownership of R.B. Jergens Contractors in 1993. Since 2013, he has driven his employees to reach their maximum potential and propelled the company into the top 100. His dedication to prioritizing people, however, was what truly distinguished him.
Andrew and Brian Jergens, two granddaughters, Yuri and Heather, Bill’s loving fiancée Rhonda Rhoades, his siblings Charles (Diane), Ray (Beverly), Cindy (Denny), and Dennis, and a plethora of nieces, nephews, and cousins are among Bill’s many loved ones. Henry and Mable Jergens, his parents, and his siblings Paul and Thomas Jergens, all died before he was born.
Bill prioritized making a positive impact on the world over achieving financial success. His generous support went to numerous groups and causes, including the Big Hoopla, Oak Tree Corner, Pink Ribbon Good, Aullwood Audubon, Dayton Children’s Hospital, St. Christopher’s Catholic Church, Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church, the Vandalia Butler Chamber of Commerce, the Vandalia Youth Theatre, and Rotary International.
Bill is enthralled by a wide array of enthusiastic pastimes. Motorcycles, with their exhilarating rides and stunning designs, were his passion, and he was an avid collector of special interest cars. Making maple syrup at home revealed his generous and imaginative side. Fascinating, personable, and full of optimism, Bill Jergens was a real find. By joking and being active, he encouraged others to live each day to the utmost. “A good life is when you smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realize how blessed you are,” goes Zig Ziglar’s wisdom. He treasured these expressions. For Bill, this was his own credo.
On December 18, 2023, at 10 AM, there will be a Christian funeral service at Our Lady of the Rosary. Following that, in Calvary Cemetery, the burial will take place. Donating to Pink Ribbon Good, Children’s Hospital, or Our Lady of the Rosary would be a meaningful alternative to sending flowers in Bill’s memory. Bill Jergens, whose life was characterized by optimism, charity, and delight, is still an inspiration to us.
