RONALD (RON) GARY PETERSON You were the husband of our dreams, the father we hoped for, the friend to count on and above all, a person who gave from your heart and asked nothing in return. We thank you for everything you were to us. We loved you and respected you more than you will ever know....our hearts ache. When we think of the perfect man, husband, father and friend, we think of you. You had no agenda....you lived your life honestly; you took care of those you loved. Ronald Gary Peterson passed away accidentally on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 with loved ones at his side. Left to cherish Ron's memory are father Victor; siblings JoAnne (Lloyd) Lindal, Larry (Anne) and Victor (Anne); in-laws Linda and Bob Hamilton; sister-in-law Shelly Easton; brother-in-law Patrick (Christine) Hamilton; and many aunts; uncles; nieces; nephews; and close friends who thought the world of him. He was predeceased by his mother Gay in 1974. Ron was born on September 25, 1962 and raised in East Kildonan. He was the youngest son of Victor and Gay Peterson. He graduated from Red River Community College with a degree in Computer Technology. Ron was a friend that was revered by his peers. He was an advocate and supporter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada and participated in the annual bike ride to Gimli to raise funds for the cause. Shortly after graduating, Ron met his true love, Shara. Their profound connection and love for one another was evident to all. They celebrated their 27th Wedding Anniversary on May 25, 2012. Together they raised three beautiful children Kyle (Christy), Carly (Duelle) and Colin. In his children, he instilled his warmth, his giving nature and his respect for others. He is with them....in their hearts...and in their memories to cherish forever. To Shara, Ron was her everything as she was to him. They had the opportunity to travel to many destinations in Europe, most recently Cuba and their new found passion was golf partners for life. The adoration and love they had for one another was so very rare. An inspiration for us all to take to heart and a reminder to live each day to its fullest and to be grateful for all that is good in our lives. A private family gathering will be held to Celebrate Ron's Life. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ron's name to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, 100 - 1465 Buffalo Place, Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L8. Richard Wojcik, Funeral Director of Wojcik's Funeral Chapel Crematorium, is in care of arrangements 204 - 897 - 4665. ....."you are the sun in my day, the wind in my sky, the waves in my ocean and the beat in my heart"..... - anonymous -

  • To The Peterson Family- Shara, Kyle, Carly and Colin. I came to hear of this tragic news when reaching out to catch up with Ron just yesterday. I was so shocked and saddened. I felt compelled to write something to you all because even though I never met Ron (we dealt by email and phone due to the distance), I could tell he was a great person. He was always so upbeat and pleasant and a joy to do business with. He would help me in any way that he could - you could just tell that he is genuinely a warm, kind and caring person. I will miss hearing his fun, cheerful voice. With Sincerest Condolences, ~Yolanda Glickman/Dataram - Posted by: Yolanda Glickman (Vendor Partner) on: Jan 29, 2013

  • How do you come to grips with the loss of a great man. To his family, it is one of utter devastation. To his friends and associates, it is one of crippling sorrow. Ron was a great man to his family, his friends, and his associates. His loss will be felt in Winnipeg, London, and across this country, by those who had the good fortune to meet him, and by others whose only contact may have been over the phone or email. He was compassionate, just, a true leader, a professional, and one you hoped to call a friend. He will be greatly missed. With deepest condolences to his family, and those he made an impact on, in their lives. - Posted by: V. Manganaro (Associate) on: Jan 21, 2013

  • Our deepest sympathy to Shara and the kids. Ron was a great guy who always took the time to find out what was going on in our lives whenever we visited. One memory of Ron that sticks out in my mind was when my Father was sick and confined to a wheelchair. Ron dropped what he was doing to come to our place on the other side of the city and build a ramp for my Dad, so that he could be mobile in his last few months with us. I will never forget that and I appreciated it so much. Ron will be missed by many - Posted by: Mike and Susan MacDonald (Shara's Cousin) on: Jan 20, 2013
