Ronald Lorne Voth was born November 9, 1950 in Chilliwack BC to Jacob and Eva Voth and was the youngest of 3 boys. He attended high school at MEI and got his pilot’s license before he graduated. He pursued post graduate studies at BCIT and graduated with the highest standings achievable. After graduating, he worked in administration for the Unemployment Insurance Commission from 1971-1978. He became Chief of Operations in the New Westminster District. During this time, he married and was blessed with 3 children Jennifer Denise, Carmen Lynette and Leanne Michelle. They were the light of his life. In 1979, Ron moved his family to Abbotsford from Burnaby and went into Real Estate. In 1981 he purchased a half interest in Clearbrook Realty Ltd. and was in partnership until 1993. In 1982, Ron had an AVM (brain bleed). God spared his life and blessed him with many more years. During this time, Ron lost his marriage and life was difficult. In 1992, however, he married Loraine Ratzlaff and gained two more children, Jason Ratzlaff and Jana Ratzlaff. He loved his expanded family very deeply. Upon the passing of his brother Lyle in 2001, Ron managed the family company, Voth Construction Co. Ltd. The family company was sold in 2006, at which time, Ron retired. Ron and Loraine loved to travel together. They enjoyed many road trips, cruises, adventures to Europe, and Harley trips. Ron served on numerous church boards and was a proud member of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board for several years. In addition, he was on the Board of Directors for the University of the Fraser Valley. Ron had a deep appreciation for music. He sang in church choirs and quartets for many years. Ron was blessed with 13 grandchildren. Each grandchild was his favorite and he loved every minute with them. Ron’s faith remained resolute and unwavering. He ‘walked the talk’ to the very end. Ron, you will be missed in so many ways, but you have left your indelible mark in each of us. Thank you for your love. Until we meet again…
