May 10, 1951 - October 23, 2024
In loving memory ~
Ronald Barry Towell passed away in Surrey, BC on October 23rd, 2024 with his family by his side. Ron was born in New Westminster on May 10, 1951 to Janet and Dean "Hap" Towell, and raised in Burnaby. Ron spent his early years working on his family's tugboat, and eventually retrained as a Steel Fabricator. Ron had a strong connection to nature and an adventurous spirit. He loved being outdoors, enjoyed camping, and exploring the West Coast by boat with his family. Ron hung up his motorcycle helmet when his kids were young, but continued his passion for classic cars and was a member of the Pacific Model A Club. Ron enjoyed each day to the fullest and appreciated the simple pleasures in life - a daily walk no matter the weather, a cup of coffee in the afternoon, a lively game of cards, and listening to a favourite record from his collection.
Ron is survived by his wife Maureen "Moe", children Trevor (Haley) and Michelle, and 3 siblings David, Louise and Barbara. Ron's infectious smile and kind heart will be missed by his family and many close friends. His memory will be music in our hearts forever.
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in Ron's memory to the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia. A celebration of life will take place in Spring 2025.
