Ron was a loving husband, father and grandpa. He enjoyed spending time outdoors, ski-dooing, camping, and being known as “Mayor of Jackfish Lake" for 17 years. He had an amazing sense of humor and loved making others laugh. Ron always had time to visit and enjoyed talking with anyone—whether you were a stranger or not. He was a great friend to so many and will be deeply missed by all.
A Celebration of Life will take place at 1:00 pm on Saturday, June 4, 2022, at the Colinton Community Center.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Ron’s memory to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada or to the Athabasca Healthcare Centre Auxiliary Association
