ANDERSON
Ronald Robert Anderson passed away suddenly at the age of 30 at Swan Hills, Alberta. Ron was born on November 19, 1970 at Red Deer and completed his schooling at Camille J. Lerouge, in Red Deer. During high school years, Ron started working on the oil rigs on weekends. He was proud of his work and went on to work on service and drilling rigs in Cuba, Venezuela and China, as well as Alberta and Saskatchewan. Ron had a way of lighting up a room with his presence. His boys, nieces and nephews, could never get enough rough housing and play with Daddy/Uncle Ron. He was all out loving, caring and gentle in his enthusiastic ways. Ron had a special way of being "with" his children and nieces and nephews. He was a guy's guy, the kind that could have a good time just hanging out and the kind of person that always welcomed a friendly face or good laugh (even at his own expense). All the good stuff that Ron had to offer already shines in the eyes of his boys and in others who were fortunate enough to "know him". Ron's greatest joy was his family and spending time with them camping, fishing, quading, golfing and just playing. He leaves to mourn, his wife, Holly; his two special boys, Corey, age six and Brent, age five; his parents, Donald and Rita Anderson of Red Deer; his sister Kari, brother-in-law, Mickey Souchuk; his nephew, Joseph; his niece Rhea, all of Red Deer; his father and mother-in-law, George and Connie Tryon of Breton; sister-in-law Charlene (Wayne) Duperron, niece Caitlin and nephew Tulsen, all of Peace River, AB.; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and good friends.
