Mr. Ronald Peter Bohn

July 6, 1944 – March 11, 2014

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ron Bohn on March 11, 2014. Ron is lovingly remembered by his wife Judy of nearly 49 years, son Michael of Fort St. John and daughter Marilyn (Alex) of Kamloops. Also left to mourn are grandchildren Reece, Megan (Matt), Tyler, Brannon, Emily and Morgan, great-granddaughter Maria, nieces and nephews, as well as many friends and relatives and his beloved cat, Snuffy. Ron is predeceased by his father, George and his mother, Tillie.

Ron had a strong work ethic and was employed at Highland Valley Copper for 35 years. After his retirement, you could find him puttering in his workshop and he was known as the neighbourhood handyman. He also loved to spend his time in his garden and to be out in his boat fishing. He was an unselfish, inspiring man with strong beliefs. He had a sense of humour like no other and he was never reluctant to share his opinions on politics. If you were to ask him what his biggest accomplishment was in his life, I believe he would say it was his family and being able to provide for them. His family meant the world to him, and he even when he got ill, his family was still his main priority until his final breath.

A life too short, but a life well-lived.

We would like to thank Dr. Gabriel, Dr. Thomas and Marissa, Dr. Van Heerden and Dr. Tevendale and all the wonderful nurses and staff at the Kamloops Cancer Clinic and at RIH 6 South. To all the angels at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, a huge sense of gratitude and appreciation for making Ron’s final days of this journey as peaceful and as comfortable as possible. For all of the friends and family that visited, called and shared this journey with Ron, we cannot thank you enough for your support and love.

A Celebration of Ron’s Life will be held on March 15th, 2014 at 2pm at the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites, 675 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC.

Should friends or family desire donations in Ron’s name may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. Condolences may be expressed at www.mem.com.
