Obituary of Ronald James Allison

Ronald (Ron) Allison passed away peacefully at his home on July 26, 2026, 

Ron is Survived by his brother, Murray Allison.
Pre-deceased by his siblings: Donna Salisbury (Ed), Helen Cyr (Armand), Raymond Allison, Clay Allison, and Bill Allison.

​Lovingly remembered by his niece, Val Heathcote (Ed), who was more like a daughter to him; great-nieces Michelle Allison, Mickey Clayton (Dan), and Tanya Legroulx; nephew James Allison Sr., and great-nephew James Allison Jr. He will also be dearly missed by his great-great nephews Randy Pake and Brendan Allison, and great-great nieces Mackenzie Shumanski and Julia Clayton.
Ron held a special place in the heart of his great-great niece, Savannah Calhoun, whom he loved and adored.
He will be fondly remembered by his longtime friend, Margaret Allison (Bill ), as well as by many other nieces, nephews, and his friends of “99 McNaughton.”

Affectionately known as “Whitey,” a nickname given to him as a young boy, Ron was a quiet, gentle man and a true homebody who found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was happiest watching old western movies and game shows, listening to Elvis tunes, and spending time with the family he loved so dearly. Ron had a contagious laugh and a warm, welcoming smile that will be remembered by all who knew him.
Although we will deeply miss Ron here on Earth, we find comfort in knowing that he has been welcomed into the loving embrace of his parents and reunited with his best friend and brother, Bill.

​Cremation has taken place with interment to be held on Saturday, August 22nd starting at 1pm at Maple Leaf Cemetery .

Donations made in memory of Ronald to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Cancer Society Canada  would be appreciated by the family.
