It is with great sadness we share that Ron Parke passed away peacefully, at Bluewater Health Sarnia, on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, at age 70. Ron was the loving husband of Eulalie (nee Taylor) and a proud father of Peter (Judy) Parke. He was predeceased by his beautiful daughter, Sherrylee (2002). He was the son of the late James and Wilma (nee Weed) Parke and is survived by his brother, Larry (Margaret).
We remember Ron as unassuming, strong, and very generous. He put the needs of his family over his own and worked tirelessly on the family farm to provide for them.
Ron had a quick wit and a terrific sense of humour, often making everyone laugh with only a few words. He was a man of profound faith in God, and lived out his life with kindness, gentleness, and generosity toward others.
Ron was an enthusiast of old classic cars and had a love for muscle cars and street rods especially. He loved going fishing, drinking coffee, taking country drives, and really enjoyed sitting peacefully at the waters edge with his beloved wife.
