Moroni James Ayres

Roni was born August 25, 1945 in New Westminster. When he was five he moved to Kamloops, a place he loved to call home. Roni worked for many years as a fireman at Tranquille Hospital. After it closed he worked as a security guard at the courthouse. He was probably known best as “Special Roni”, his families most requested cab driver when he drove for Yellow Cabs.

Roni was a voracious reader and had a remarkable memory. He always had the answer for every situation.

He will be sadly missed and always remembered by his daughter Amber (Steve), sister Jo-Anne (Ken), brother Mark (Gail), sister Jackie (Lonnie), niece Stacey (Kreg, Kobe and Zakery), nephews Ben ( Erin, Isadora and Evelyn) ,Matt (Annesley), last surviving aunt Lois Mcglalshing and numerous cousins.

The family would also like to thank Arlyn and Marcel, who are the two remaining amigos of the Mayfair 3 amigos group.

He is now free of all his pain. His family is comforted knowing he will be welcomed by his parents Mel and Jeanne Ayres and his beloved sons Tyler and Evan as his next journey begins.

All are welcome to help us celebrate Roni’s life at Mayfair, 760 Mayfair Street, Kamloops at 1:30pm May 6th, with a reception to follow.

The family would like to gratefully thank the staff at 7N, RIH and the staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House for their expert and caring treatment during Roni’s last days.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Roni may be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Crescent, Kamloops BC V2E 2S9
