RON KEIZER It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Ron Keizer, due to heart attack, on Wednesday, May 17, 2017. He leaves Dorothy, his wife of 27 years, to lovingly cherish his memory; his daughters Allison Demann (Klaas) and Nikki Keizer; and grandchildren Ethan (the light of his life), Dominic, Gabriel and Evolet. Dorothy has lost her soul mate, the love of her life, and a partner who shared life with her to the fullest. They travelled the world together hand in hand, undertook countless projects at their cottage in South Beach, Gimli, and loved their shared adventures in South Beach. Cremation will take place and a celebration of life will follow - details to be announced. Ron touched so very many people, and everyone is welcome to share their memories of him, humorous, colourful, and poignant, at the celebration of life. No flowers please. If you wish to honour Ron, please make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in his name. Here's a toast to you, Ron! Honey, I love you so. You will live forever in my heart.

  • Dear Dorothy and family, Please accept our most sincere and profound condolences on your family's sudden loss of a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. Words are never adequate at a time of such deep sorrow. They cannot express how much we feel your loss and understand what a sudden void this has created in the life of your family. You will get through this terrible time Dorothy. Your memories of all the joyous and loving times that you and Ron shared will triumph, in the fullness of time, over the sorrow and grief that is your burden now. - Posted by: Ross Jenkins (In law) on: May 20, 2017

  • Dorothy, when Ron became part of our sizable family in the 1990s, I don't know if he quite knew what to make of the lot of us. But he quickly made his mark as a loving, big-hearted, funny, vulnerable guy and he embraced us and all our quirks. We will miss him immensely but there's no way we'll forget him -- he made an indelible impression on so many. I am so happy you and Ron shared 27 years together and I grieve for you that it could not be longer. - Posted by: Deanna Toews (Extended family) on: May 20, 2017

I remember as a kid at your house throwing coins into the backyard and handing us rakes and making us earn that candy at the store. I will miss ya, love ya, rest in peace my friend. - Posted by: Troy tait (Family ) on: May 20, 2017

  • Dorothy, we can't believe you have lost your Ron. It's not that long ago Ron took retirement, so you could live out your years together. Little did we know that it would be short. Our thoughts are with you and your family, Eileen and Doug Hoover - Posted by: Eileen and Doug Hoover (Friends) on: May 20, 2017

  • Dorothy, Janelle and I send our caring thoughts to you at this time. We joyfully recall the memory of you and Ron, visiting and Camping at our place on Lake of the Woods when we all were younger. I look at the years Ron and I worked together as a very interesting and educational time for both of us. Ron is a very intense, giving person, and we are very pleased to have known him. Please stay strong and keep in touch. Peter Zajaczkowski - Posted by: Peter Zajaczkowski ( Friend / Work-Place Aquaintance .) on: May 20, 2017
