'We miss you so very much!'

December 19, 1942 - October 21, 2023

Suddenly and without warning, Ron collapsed with severe chest pain. He was sent by helicopter to the RJH in Victoria for a long and extensive repair to a dissecting aorta. He passed away five days later with all of his family surrounding him.  

The loss of this gentle, humorous and caring husband, father and grandfather has left a painful emptiness in our hearts.

Ron leaves his daughter Michelle (Thomas), son Raun (Susan), grandsons Connor (Kiko), Grayson and granddaughter Gabrielle. His sister Marie Dame and nieces Linda Dame and Joyce Pittman.

Ron's happiest days were the winters in Melaque, Mexico and the family summers at their cabin at Horne Lake.

He was never without Rex, Sophie or Charley walking beside him.

Thank you to BCAS ground and air crew and the most amazing nurses, doctors and staff at CVU at RJH and Father Alfredo M. of St. Joseph's the Worker Parish.

"Love keeps no score of wrongs....

There is nothing love can not face....

Love will never come to an end.”

(1 Corinthians)

We miss you so very much!
