It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Ronald
Everett McCoy, 85, on Sunday, June 13, 2021 at the Dr. Everett

have travelled your last weary mile. Rest now, you have fought the
good fight. Wait ‘til you see your brand new
home.

Ronnie was self-employed for many years as the owner/operator

Community Church where he served the lord. He was a past board member,
young people’s leader, Sunday school teacher and bus driver.
He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend to all.
Ronnie and Marjorie led an active life, travelling and camping. He
will be forever remembered by his contagious smile, his love for his
