RONALD
WAYNE CARTHER
Peacefully
after a courageous battle with cancer, we sadly announce the passing of Ronald
Wayne Carther, on Saturday, November 22, 2014 at his home, in Winnipeg, at the
age of 68 years, with his best friend and partner Shelley James and daughter
Tricia Hoffman by his side.
Ron
is survived by Shelley; his father, Reginald Carther of Winnipeg; daughter,
Tricia (Carther) Hoffman of Morden; granddaughters, Nicole and Riana; brothers
Barry (Lorraine) Carther of Edmonton, Warren Carther of Winnipeg; nephews
Garrett and his two sons Brogan and Rhys of Edmonton, Christopher and Reggie; as
well as niece, Chantell of Winnipeg. He was predeceased by his mother,
Freda (Plato) Carther and Shelley's two sons, Gary and Darren.
On
September 16, 1946 Ron was born in Winnipeg to Reginald and Freda
Carther. He loved spending his summers at Grand Beach with his family in his
youth. Ron attended Grant Park High School and Red River College,
where he received his electrical degree.
Ron
was a hard working self-employed electrician, always willing to help others. He
loved his dog Hershey and visiting with the neighbours down the block. Ron had
a passion for model trains and had a fantastic layout, in his attic spending
his free time working and enjoying it. Ron was a movie buff and had a large
collection of DVDs.
On
Wednesday, November 26, 2014, a memorial was held for close family and
friends at Warren's studio. Interment will take place at a later date.
A heartfelt thank you to CancerCare Oncologist, Dr. Benerji; family doctor, Dr.
McQuarrie; palliative care nurse, Alma and Miguel from homecare who made
it possible for Ron's wish to remain at home.
If friends so desire, donations
may be made to any animal shelter or charity of choice.
