Parcourez la nécrologie de Ronald Michael James Sweet June 19 1954 to May 2 2023 résidant dans la province Colombie britanique pour le détail des funérailles
Ronald Michael James Sweet passed peacefully in his sleep at home on the night of May 2, 2023 in Victoria, British Columbia, at the age of 68. Born on June 19, 1954 in Calgary, Alberta, Ron fought bravely against cancer for a year before finally succumbing to the disease.
He will be sorely missed by his wife Judith and his two sons, Shane and Jared. His surviving family members, Connie Longeway, Joan and Harry Yewchuck, Shelly and Dennis Erikson, along with many nieces and nephews, will remember him fondly. He is pre-deceased by his younger brother, Randy, both of his parents, Mike and Ann Sweet, and his older sister, Marilyn Quigley.
Ron was raised in Springbank, Alberta, and enjoyed spending time outside on the Bow River. He had a varied work career, ranging from working with Cattle on the Get-A-Long Stock Farm to building fireplaces, and shaping young athletes with Hobbema Recreation.
After moving to Sooke on Vancouver Island to pursue his passion for golf, he was a pillar of the Sooke Minor Hockey Association, coaching both of his Sons to Sooke’s first provincial tournament and then its first title win. He selflessly gave up his beloved acreage in Sooke to
move his family to Victoria, British Columbia for greater opportunity for his sons in academics and athletics.
He enjoyed travelling to warm destinations to show his children amazing beaches and opportunities to experience nature, while challenging himself on various golf courses throughout the United States and Canada. Perhaps his greatest achievement, besides marrying Judith, was a hole in one on the storied Torrey Pines Golf Course.
With respect to the amazing job done by the Victoria Cancer Foundation and Hospice program, we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to either organization.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 2:00 pm, in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, British Columbia.
