Ronald Freeman Ernst
September 10, 1946 – May 02, 2021
Ronald Freeman Ernst age 74 years… born Sept.10, 1946 passed May 02, 2021
In the early hours of May 02, 2021 God called Ron to be with him in Heaven. Ronald grew up in Hackets Cove and
was predeaced by his father and mother Freeman and Mary Irene (Berthier) Ernst. He was also predeaced by his sister Gloria (Joseph) Arsenault.
He is also survived by his loving wife of 15 years Irene Woodall, brother Harold (Edmonton), Wayne (Hackets Cove) and nieces and nephew, Crystal (George), Rhea, and Craig (Andrea) and great nieces and nephews.
Ronald had a love of all animals but a great fondness towards cats especially his beloved Buffy.
He was an extremely kind hearted and generous man. He would give you the shirt off his back. He had a such a gentle spirit and humility to his personality, and a gift of being a quiet man who was a great listener.
Ronald through his life had strong work ethics and worked hard. He worked at various companies throughout the years as a Magazine sales man in Newfoundland, and for over 20 years as an auto body repair technician for various auto repair shops throughout Halifax and Alberta. Most of his evenings you could find Ron working in the home garage beside his father and brother Harold. Before his passing he also worked as a crosswalk guard for 9 years and enjoyed each moment of it even in the bitter cold winter.
Roanld went through many tribulations in life such as prostate cancer, a stroke and was diagnosed with Schizophrenia. But not once did he not let that darken his days and pushed ahead with a smile on his face.
Cremation has taken place and on a later date burial will take place in Hackets Cove (St. Peter’s Anglican Church)
We will miss you sweet friend until we meet again. Donations in Ronald’s memory can be made at Bide Awhile Animal Shelter Society, or charity of your choice.
Rest in peace our precious Ron.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that who so ever believeth in him should not parish but have everlasting life” John 3:16
