It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved father and friend; The world seems a bit dimmer today.
Ron was a charismatic, charming, caring man. Ron loved people, animals and nature.
He was always making those around him laugh with his eccentric and at times wild tales from his trips abroad to his days on his “hog” (Harley Davidson motorcycle) with the wind in his hair and miles of road ahead of him.
You truly will never meet anyone quite like Ron!
The sadness is great as the memories are timeless.
Please help us keep Ron’s spirit of greatness alive by keeping the stories going; he would be laughing right along enjoying the happiness and friendship that continue to gather in his memory.
Ron would encourage everyone to try to keep on the sunny side as his father Mike would instill.
So please keep on laughing, keep on dreaming and please stay on the sunny side of life.
Forever in our hearts and memory we love you Ron ( dad).
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

I was with Ron for many years. I loved him deeply and when I left he knew why… I had a child and his passions did not change .. mine had. It’s 2026 and I just discovered he’s gone and I’m crying my heart out… I always believed he’d call me .. but he never did. I miss you Ron I always have.. and now there’s a hole where he always lived in my heart… I’m 63 and although back in my old skin… I have remained single… he was my last love and his passing pains me deeply…
I fortunately knew Ron in his prime. He was as good as Jim Carey never had I met a character who compared. Generous always exceptional and a real experience to spend time with. From the motel in Invermere to Drygulch the teddy bear lodge to motorcycle club on Ft Road to Edmonton and the basement or garage at Edmonton home Rockin Ronnie never let the day get boring. I could write a book on our experiences maybe two but the joy of his memories will always be with me. Probably the closest I have come to loving a man. RIP
I’m so sad. I know I said couldn’t be back for awhile, but if only I could have made it back a sooner! You’ll always be with me. Whether we were randomly driving around or just hanging out, we always had a BLAST! Recently we spent a lot of time at the resort. Had a lots of fun trying out all the different fruit drinks at the bar just because we could. Checking out all the cute girls etc. Then we would go rip around in the convertible like we stole it and explore randomly. Try new things etc. So many unrealized plans and dreams we had. I know I’ll see you sometime. You’re somewhere out there, I know it. Until we meet in another time and place. Take care out there!
I met Ron when I was hired by Dale to care for dad “Mike”. In the beginning we had our ups and downs , only because he was fearlessly protective of his dad, but once he realized I wanted the best for dad and his family, we became good friends. What I saw and know about Ron is he looked after his mom when she needed him and then his dad and Dale. I have such admiration for Ron and his ability to care and lighten the mood with a smile and story.
I will miss the random text and photos.
You are all together now ❤️
Much love and blessings to Ron’s daughters and grandsons.
