I worked for Ashton in Dallas Texas from 1985–1990. I was only 22 years old when I started working for Ashton, and I was amazed at how responsible he was only 5 years, my senior… he was my first real boss in a professional setting, and I did not realize the value of the lessons he was teaching me until much later in life. I could not agree more strongly with all the positive heartfelt testaments of his character. I did not know about his Christian faith back then, nor did I care, but now it all makes perfect sense, and I like everyone else who has commented here, I am grateful to God for Ashton and the way God used him for His good. I can only imagine how much Betts and his children must miss him. I appreciate his incredible patience and grace that he extended to me. I look forward to our reunion in Heaven, and to sharing old memories in the midst of God’s everlasting love.

Hi. My name is Alison Malone Avagliano. I am the sister of Patrice Malone Angle and Rick Malone, who was one of Ashton’s best friends at the Naval Academy and also class of ‘79. I just today heard of Ashton’s passing. I’m so sorry and deeply saddened. I know Ashton played a big role in my nephew Ty’s life (Rick’s son) and also Patrice’s. They were involved with his Phigenics company. After my brother passed away Ashton stepped up to the plate to make sure his son Ty was taken care of. I will always remember both Rick and Patrice speaking so highly of Ashton. Idk if you know but my sister Patrice passed away a month before Ashton. So sad. Please accept my condolences 🥲. With Warm regards, Alison. [email protected]

Dear Betts and Family,
It was so tragic to hear of Ashton's passing. He was so full of passion and life and his integrity was second to none. As difficult as it is, I know he was right with God and his faith. I'm sorry we could not be there for the funeral, but we have had you in our prayers. May God comfort you and the family during this time of mourning.

God Bless,
George and Debbie Hepburn

Dear Betts and family,
Ashton was a USNA roommate during part of our 4 years together. His southern gentlemanly manner, sense of humor and example of Christian love are what I remember most about him. I didn't really appreciate his qualities until later in life. You all are in our prayers. May Our Lord give You all the Grace of Strength, Comfort and Peace. Frank and Debbie Sablan

Dearest Betts and family, I just learned of your husband, dear Ashton's, death. I am truly rendered speechless and shocked with such heavy sadness. Oh my gosh, this is such a very profound loss for all of you, for your community and for all that knew and loved your Ashton. He so positively and warmly touched so very many lives during his lifetime. I just cannot wrap my mind around this loss. He was such a caring, loving and genuine friend to all who had the great fortune to meet and know him. I always felt blessed to have met and gotten to know your family through our ASH community when we were in the Netherlands. Please know I am holding all of you so very, very close in my thoughts and in my prayers, and always ~ always ~ in my heart. Sending so much love to all of you at this incredibly difficult time - and in the months and years ahead. Much love, Karen Ray

My thoughts and deepest condolences to Betts and the family. My first meeting with Ashton was when he stopped to meet my Boxer. Such a nice man. Trick or treating with the kids. While they got candy, he was accepting a libation in his overalls. The man knew how to have fun.

I knew Ashton as my primary trainer when I joined Nalco in 1984. There are perhaps a handful of people who deeply impact one’s life, Ashton was one of those people in mine. Thank you my friend.
