Ronald Allan McGillivray, born July 24th, 1953 of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, passed away surrounded by his family on Thursday, December 12th, 2019 after battling esophageal cancer since May. Ron loved going to the lake in the summer as he felt peaceful surrounded by nature, and the time spent with family there was very special to him. He loved camping at Chitek Lake and Danielson Provincial Park at Diefenbaker Lake. He looked forward to fishing, listening to the birds, and sitting by the campfire. Ron was dedicated to his family; he was always ready to show love and support. He loved to laugh and tell jokes to make people smile. Ron put his faith in Jesus, and going to Sunday Mass at Church of Our Lady with his family brought him comfort. At Church events where there was music, he would enjoy dancing and he was very good at it. Ronald grew up in Vegreville, Alberta. He was predeceased by his parents, Don and Rita McGillivray; and daughter, Amy McGillivray. Ron is survived by his loving wife, Colette; sons, Brent and Ian (Tayler Ross); and brothers, Gerry (Lynn) and Ken (Mary) McGillivray. Our families would like to express gratitude for the compassionate care extended to our family from Dr. Geyer, Dr. Hetherington, all of the staff at Pioneer Lodge in Moose Jaw, Pasqua Hospital, Dr. F. H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, and our many friends for their support and comfort. We are so thankful for the palliative care room at Memory Lane, Pioneer Lodge. The Funeral Mass will be held on Thursday, December 19th, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. in Church of Our Lady, 566 Vaughan St, Moose Jaw, SK. Ron will be laid to rest with his daughter Amy in Rosthern, SK.
