Tribute

On Monday, March 1, 2021, Mr. Ronald Allan Moore of Osoyoos passed away peacefully surrounded by family after a long battle with cancer at the age of 61 years.

He was predeceased by his parents John and Lucille Moore and brothers Ervin and Elwin.

Ron will be fondly remembered by his loving wife Tara; children Stacey (Shannon) Moore, Kristy (Jamie) Moore, Brandi (Jeremy) Moore and Taylor (Alysha) Moore; nine grandchildren; older sister Marlene (Dwayne); youngest brother Larry (Lisa); many nieces, nephews and great friends.

Ron worked many different jobs over the years including an owner/operator of Osoyoos Garbage Disposal and Ron’s Bobcat. He worked many years in the oil industry, built many houses, did snow removal and ran heavy equipment.

He played on many baseball teams over the years and coached his own hockey team. Ron was an outdoor enthusiast, loved nature, camping, fishing, quading, moto-cross racing, hockey, baseball but his greatest love was being with family, especially his grandchildren and time spent with many friends.

Ron had a kind heart, a great sense of humour and always put others needs ahead of his own. Ron was always the life of the party, excelled in everything he did. Couldn’t help not to make other people laugh, even if he tried. It came naturally. Ron continuously turned those frowns upside down, it was a gift he admired and cherished so deeply. Ron didn’t judge anybody, he always gave everybody a chance and welcomed everyone with open arms.

His greatest accomplishment was being a father of four children. Growing up, his children thought of him as a superhero, even grown up now they still think of him as one. He was there for all their ups and downs and passed on to them to enjoy every moment and to keep your head up through the good and the bad. When any of his children, family, friends needed help, he would drop everything and anything he was doing to go and help them instantly. No matter what he was busy doing, they always came first.

Ron always reminded family not to forget their roots and where they come from. He was very proud of all his children and his grandchildren, they truly made him beam. Ron dedicates the song: “Roots” by the Reklaws to his children and grandchildren.

Words from his grand babies:

The man, the myth, the LEGEND
