"Dynamite" Dan Weikel - Running in Honor of Ed Jones

Dan Weikel is honored to participate in the Conejo Valley Parade’s Grand Marshal Race, not just as a proud member of the community, but as a tribute to someone who helped shape Thousand Oaks and our Conejo Valley — Ed Jones. A longtime resident of Thousand Oaks, Dan has dedicated himself to making a positive impact through his work and community service. Now, he is channeling that dedication into celebrating the life and legacy of Ed Jones, the former mayor of Thousand Oaks, who recently passed away at the age of 94.

Ed Jones was a visionary leader, a champion for Thousand Oaks, and a tireless advocate for civic engagement, open space preservation, and protecting the well-being of local residents. Ed's leadership left an indelible mark on the community, inspiring many - including Dan - to continue his mission of service and giving back.

By running for Grand Marshal in Ed’s honor, Dan hopes to continue his legacy by rallying support for causes that uplift the community. As a member of the very same Sunrise Rotary Club that Ed belonged to for many years, Dan and his fellow Rotarians wanted to make sure that the Conejo Valley Parade celebrated his significant contributions to this special place that we live.

If elected as Grand Marshal, Dan has decided that Ed's longtime wife and companion, JoAnn, will lead the parade in honor of Ed's many years of service to our community and its residents. Together, we want to pay tribute to Ed’s service, values, and unwavering commitment to Thousand Oaks.

Join Dan in celebrating a true community champion in memory of Ed Jones — vote for Dan in the Grand Marshal Race to also support Senior Concerns, his chosen local charity.
