Ronald Norman Schiestel of R.R.#3 Elmwood, passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family at Chapman House, Owen Sound, on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at the age of 84.
He is survived by his loving wife Beverley (Foley) for 62 years of marriage; his son Mark (Nadine) and their children Amberly (Pastor), Derek, and great-grandchildren Kyle and Odin; his son Kirk and grandson Brody; and his daughter Andrea (Tony) and their children Ema (Evan) and Noah.
Cremation has taken place and there will be a private family gathering at their farm.
Memorial donations to Grey Bruce Hospice (Chapman House), the Canadian Cancer Society, or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
The community has lost a hero. Every day, Ron demonstrated what a good neighbour is. Whether he was driving someone around, fixing something for someone or just plain keeping an eye on the neighbourhood, Ron was always taking care of someone and doing a good deed. I’ll miss the twinkle in his eye when he spoke of his family whom he loved dearly and was so proud of. He was lucky to have his devoted ‘side kick’ Bev constantly by his side in his final days.
My sincerest condolences to the family. This is a big loss for all of you.
Kathy
Sorry for your loss Bev and Family
I was so sorry to hear of Ron’s passing. My husband and I had met Ron and Bev years ago will fishing and vacationing in Burks’s Falls and continued to share the same week of holidays for a few years. I had run into Ron and Bev at Kettles and got caught up on the family and things in their life. Life is too short we have lots of good memories of times together. Cherish the memories. Rest in peace Ron
