January 13, 1947 - January 9, 2019
Ron was born on January 13th, 1947 in Trail, B.C. and was called Home to be with his Lord on January 9th, 2019, just four days prior to his 72nd birthday. His death has come far too soon and so unexpectedly but we are thankful for the life he lived and the love that he shared with all of us while he was here.
Ron will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife Janice, to whom he was married for 37 years; their children, Shae (Julianne) Birch, Tasha (Geoff) Taylor, Angela Cresswell (Kelly Savage) and Gidget Maguire (Sean Jensen); six grandchildren, Keegan, Kelsey, William, Arienne, Jayde and Elise; two sisters, Heather Birch (Bill Cane) and Kaylee Birch; his large extended family, Dennis and Alice Beck, Linda and Gino Martin; all his nieces and nephews; his loving mother-in-law, Donna Beck and many incredible friends. He was preceded in death by one son, Byron Cresswell and his parents, Floyd and Mariette Birch.
Cremation preceded a Celebration of Ron's Life which will be held at Peace Lutheran Church, 1204-30th Avenue, on Saturday, January 19th, 2019 at 11:00 am.
As an expression of sympathy, those who wish to do so may send donations in memory of Ron to one of the charities to which he was so deeply committed:
