SRG Announces the Passing of Ron Mead, VP of Operations

SOLANA BEACH, Calif. – MARCH 14, 2025 – It is with profound sadness that Senior Resource Group (SRG) announces the passing of Ron Mead, Vice President of Operations. His extraordinary leadership and ability to inspire those around him will be missed.

A leader with a deep knowledge of the senior living industry, Ron had an unwavering vision and commitment to the pursuit of excellence. He dedicated his career to SRG’s mission, shaping not only SRG but the broader industry as well, as illustrated by his leadership as the recent board chair of the California Assisted Living Association (CALA).

“Ron was an extraordinary leader, colleague, and friend who made a lasting impact on the organization, its residents, and everyone who was privileged to work with him,” said Michael Grust, president & CEO. “Beyond his professional accomplishments, it was Ron’s kindness, quick wit, and genuine love for his work that truly defined him. He had a way of making people feel valued, whether they were employees, residents, or friends.”

Ron, who was born in Portland, Oregon, joined Senior Resource Group in 1990. He built his career at SRG with enthusiasm and passion. Throughout his tenure he supported the organization’s significant growth while helping influence its culture. His contributions to the company were numerous, notably shepherding SRG’s participation in accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

“Our thoughts are with Ron’s family during this difficult time,” continued Grust. “We extend our deepest condolences to his loved ones. As SRG moves forward, Ron’s remarkable legacy will continue to guide us.”

A celebration of Ron’s life and legacy will be held Saturday, March 22, at 11:00 a.m. at The Mission Church (825 Carlsbad Village Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008). In lieu of flowers, donations to his favorite charity, Compassion International, are requested.
