May 5th, 1939 – February 1st, 2025.. Ronnie passed away quietly at Extendicare Maple View, with his loving wife Ann by his side, following a courageous battle with dementia.
Forever loved and treasured by his wife of 63 years, Ron’s love of life will live on forever in our hearts. He loved the outdoors, whether it was hunting, fishing or golfing, and he always loved a party, and being with friends.
Loving father of Debbie Cameron (Chris), Lori McCrae, Jennifer Barkley-Scott (Zack Scott) and the late Peggy-Jo (PJ) Barkley-Dube (Paul). Predeceased by his parents Ross and Mary Barkley. Dearly loved brother of Colleen McMaster (Sam) and the late Jim Barkley. Proud grandfather of Benjamin Cameron, Tyler McCrae, and Teigan and Nola Scott. He will be missed by his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Special thanks to Dr. David Fera for the many years of caring for Ron. To Dr. Smith and the Extendicare Maple View team, our deepest gratitude for your care, compassion and friendship. We will forever be grateful and never forget your help throughout this journey.
