Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryRONALD WAYNE MOAN Passed away peacefully at his home in Edmonton at the age of 64. Ron was predeceased by his parents Iva and Olaf Moan. He is survived by sisters Donna, Jan (Gerry) and Barb (Dave) and brothers Larry, Howard and Darryl (Deb), also nieces Jen and Heather and nephews Jeff, Kevin, Brendon and Connor plus many aunts, uncles and cousins Ron grew up in Inwood and attended school there. In the 1970s, he found a new home on Vancouver Island, a place he loved and dreamed of returning to upon his retirement. A job opportunity took him to Edmonton where he resided until his passing. Ron loved the outdoors and spent a lot of time hiking and camping along the trails on the Island. He also wintered in Mexico for many years. He was contrary to ordinary in many ways, but was always passionate about the causes he believed in and remained resolute in his convictions. Rest well brother. The family would like to thank the officers from the Stonewall RCMP detachment and the Edmonton Police Force for their compassion and professionalism. Donations in Ron's name can be made to the charity of your choice.

To Donna, Janet, Barb, Larry, Howie, Darryl and others who loved Ron, please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of someone so dear. The last time I saw Ron was way back in the 1960s I think though I have thought of him from time to time over the years. My memory of Ron was that he was my tall, handsome, teenage cousin. I'd like to remember your parents at this time, my Uncle Olaf and Auntie Iva, who always welcomed our family into their home with warmth and love. I will never forget them. In memory of Ron I would like to leave you with you a quote from a poem that is near and dear to my heart. It gives me comfort at times like this and I hope it will do the same for you. "And ever near us, though unseen / The dear, immortal spirits tread / For all the boundless universe / Is Life -- there are no dead!" (From the poem "There Is No Death" by JL McCreery) Farewell, dear cousin. Blessings to all! Love, Valerie - Posted by: Valerie Moan (cousin) on: Jan 03, 2012
