Janell truly lived his life to the fullest through life’s many simple pleasures; skateboarding at the beach, hanging out with friends and family, dancing to his favorite artists and he was a huge animal lover. To that end, Janell also leaves behind his beloved dogs, Loki and Dadah, who he loved dearly. He was handsome, charming and incredibly charismatic. He was a true and loyal friend to the end. He loved fiercely and fearlessly to the very end. He always knew the right words to say, crack his beautiful smile and/or let out his infectious laughter. Janell will be sorely missed by all that knew him.
The funeral will be a private ceremony with only close family members present. We are in the process of arranging a memorial service soon in San Diego and Ohio and will announce the details soon. We encourage anyone who knew and loved Janell to attend and remember his beautiful life.
Our warmest appreciation for your love and support in celebrating the wonderful legacy of our beloved Janell.

Darcee Ranker
02/18/1959 - 01/08/2023
Darcee (Sloan) Ranker’s life journey and fight against metastatic breast cancer ended on January 8, 2023. Darcee’s strength and perseverance during more than 20 years battling cancer were inspirational, even more so for her ability to find joy and wonder in the face of life’s challenges and uncertainties.
Darcee is survived by her husband Phil Ranker, daughter Lynsie Ranker and son-in-law James Blake, brother Rob Sloan and sister-in-law June Sloan, brother-in-law Steve Ranker and brother-in-law David Ranker and sister-in-law Ronda Ranker, and numerous family members who all loved her dearly. Darcee’s family included “friends who became her family,” stretching her love, and our love for her, from Great Bend to New Jersey, to Seattle, to San Diego, and everywhere in between.
Darcee was an amazing and special person. She was brilliant, funny, generous, and empathetic. For her husband Phil, she was a constant companion, conscious advisor, cheerleader, amazing mother to Lynsie, and partner in crime for nearly 50 years. She enjoyed playing mahjong and pitch with her friends, losing herself in a new book, going out for a "refreshing beverage" or afternoon snack just because, and walking on the beach with her family. She was also a formidable player of “words with friends” and a sports addict who loved cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs, Kansas Jayhawks, and her favorite golfers. She was a fierce friend, steadfast confidant, and great listener for many. She lived for all the people that she loved. Everyone was blessed to have her kind smile, sweet laugh, and amazing hugs. We are thankful for all the great memories of Darcee and for the support she selflessly provided throughout our lives.
The world is less loving, less kind, less caring, and less gracious without Darcee in it. She will be greatly missed.
Darcee asked that there be no memorial service for her and in lieu of flowers, please consider donating in memory of Darcee Ranker in support of: the research of Dr. Sara Hurvitz made to the UCLA Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation, Attn: Melissa Brody, 9-623 Factor Bldg, Box 951780, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1780; (310) 206-0675; https://cancer.ucla.edu/donate; or, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in memory of Darcee Ranker, online at www.sdzwa.org/memorial or mailed to San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, P.O.
