With sadness and love the family of Ronald G Davis announce his passing on April 19, 2021 at The Moncton Hospital with his loving family by his side. Ronald was born December 6, 1941 in Peterborough Ontario to the late Garnet and Grace Davis.
Ron will be missed beyond words by Frances his loving wife of 59 years, together they enjoyed taking road trips in their retirement with a special favourite being St. Andrews NB. He will also be deeply missed by son Ted (Laurie), daughters Rhonda (Andrew) Cormier and Brenda (Darren) Phillips and daughter-in-law Shelley Woodford. Ron was the proudest grandfather to 7 grandchildren who will hold him dear in their hearts Jeffrey of China, Daniel (Kiyana), Gabrielle (Owen), Chantale (Harley), Joshua (Grace), Laurissa and Josiah all of the greater Moncton area.
Ronald also leaves behind a brother Bob Davis, brother and sister in-law Duane and Wendy Edgar, brother in-law Glen Dainard as well as many nieces and nephews and close friends.
In addition to his parents Ronald was predeceased by his sweetest angel daughter Laura Ann, in-laws Charles and Edna Edgar and sister-in-law Patricia Dainard.
Ronald spent many years with K-mart company which is what brought the family to Riverview in 1977 and became his true home. He spent many years after leaving Kmart owning his own businesses and working for various companies in Moncton. His life though can be summed up in 3 passions: family & friends, service to his community and hockey. Ron loved nothing more than to gather family & friends over barbecues and conversation , he spent time as a Riverview town councillor, was a life member of the Kinsmen Clubs of Canada, was an advocate for victims rights and a passionate supporter of youth in hockey spending many years with the Moncton AAA Flyers right until the end.
We have cherished the time we have been able to spend with Ron – a husband, father, grandfather and dear friend to many and to say he will be greatly missed is an understatement. We will love you forever.
