It is with great sadness we announce that Ronald Alfred Charles Elve
passed away on Wednesday, January 16, 2013 at the age of 80 years. He is predeceased by his parents Charles and
Louise Elve and son Randy. Ronald will be lovingly remembered by his wife
Shirley; children Debbie (Colin), Dianne (David), Donna (Raymond), Brian
(Peggy) and Delaney (Mitch); sister Joan (Vern) along with his 13
grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and numerous other family and friends. Ron
enjoyed a full life both personally and professionally. In his younger years he
held several odd jobs but settled on becoming a firefighter for the City of
Regina, which he retired from after 33 years of service. He and his wife raised
6 children, welcomed numerous grandchildren over the years, and were looking
forward to celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary later this year. His
various life experiences provided him with a large collection of stories that
he loved to share with others; whether it was from his days as a firefighter,
or from helping his family and friends fix a broken vehicle, to one of the
family trips through the mountains of BC, you could be certain he had a story
for any occasion. His sharp wit, charming smile and generous heart were one of
a kind. He was loved by all who knew him and will be greatly missed. A celebration of Ronald's life will be held on
Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 1:00 pm in St. Charles R.C. Church, 1171 Broder
Street, Regina, SK with Cliff Geiger officiating. Flowers most gratefully declined. Friends so wishing may make donations, in Ronalds's memory, to the Regina Humane Society, P.O. Box 3143, Regina, SK S4P 3G7.
Blessed am I to have met and known Ron for the past 18 years. I will never forget his warm smile, warm heart and warm personality. Ron was truly a one of a kind! Love Peg
