CURTIS, Ron
October 7, 1955 - November 25, 2021

Son. Brother. Husband. Father. Entrepreneur. Music Lover. Kind-hearted Friend. On Thursday, November 25, Ron left this world following a short and difficult journey through cancer at the young age of 66. Born in Trepassey and later establishing roots in his wife's hometown of Marystown, Ron was a strong and intelligent entrepreneur who built and managed a thriving refrigeration business on the Burin Peninsula for almost four decades. He was a loving husband to his wife Mary for 45 years and dedicated his life to supporting his family, including his four children from birth through university to present day. Ron was an avid fisherman who loved the outdoors and nature. In his final days, when asked where his heart longed to be, his response was simple: at his cabin in Garnish Pond salmon fishing and relaxing with Mary. While reserved at times, Ron was a jokester with a twinkle in his eye thinking of his next prank or funny story to tell. He could light up a room with his voice, laugh and most importantly his warm and BIG heart. Always putting others first - even at the end when he was suffering with his illness, his main worry was not to be a burden on family and friends. No longer in pain, Ron can now rest in peace. Leaving to love and cherish their time and memories of Ron are his loving wife Mary; son, Justin Curtis (Stacie); daughters Veronica Kennedy (Michael), Bernice Curtis (Steve), and Marie Curtis (Josh); sisters Mary Walsh (Patrick), Pat Tessier, Doris Pennell (Victor), and Helena Lomond (Charles); six grandchildren Katherine, Thomas, Parker, Mallory, Kallie, and Casey; as well as numerous relatives and friends, who loved Ron dearly. He is now joining loved ones that have passed before him including his father and idol, William Curtis (lovingly referred to as 'Billy John'); his mother Ita; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Charles and Veronica Lomond; brothers-in-law (Gilbert Lomond, Steve Tessier); and best friend/brother-in-law, John Clowe. We are sure they're reunited and looking down upon us lovingly while having a drink, playing guitar and singing a few of their favourite tunes along with his predeceased friends Bill, Norm and Joe.

She loved playing darts and won many trophies. It was her ritual every Wednesday night to go to one of her best friends Mabel's house and play Bingo. She shared many cups of coffee with her friends and loved to give rather than receive. She would do without herself to give to someone else. She was a full time mother to Craig until she went to work first at Warren's Restaurant then Fishery Products. One of the highlights of her life was taking her beloved granddaughter Mackenzie to Disneyland. Also, the trip to St. Anthony to see the Vikings with Eugene, Craig and her good friends Debbie, Mike and Misty Power was a trip she often talked about. Most of all she loved her family and instilled in her family strong values that have served them well. She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts. Also the family wants to thank nurses Tracey and Tamara and Dr. Le for their kindness and care of Sheila in her final hours. It will never be forgotten. Sheila may be gone from this world but she leaves behind a legacy of family and countless good deeds that will always be remembered by all.
