1936-2025

It is with heavy hearts the family of Ronald Harry Tinker announce his peaceful passing in Claresholm, Alberta on Friday, February 7, 2025 at the age of 88.
Ron was predeceased by his wife Betty in 2006. They had been married 49 years.
Ron spent his life working in the forest and construction industries in Robson, Nakusp, Revelstoke, and Salmon Arm, BC before moving to Alberta later in life and finishing his working life driving long haul fuel tankers in Calgary and then retiring in Claresholm. In Claresholm he spent many years volunteering at the local Legion.
He loved hunting, fishing, camping, and “trucking”.
Ron leaves his children: Diana (Vic), Robert, and Bonnie (Larry) and seven grandchildren: Lisa, Tanya, Joshua, Daniel, Dustin, Cary, and Krista; and four great grandchildren: Cadence, Delaney, Dreyden and Eleanor. He was also predeceased by his grandson Christopher.
The family would like to thank the staff at Willow Creek Continuing Care Centre for looking after Dad and being so kind and attentive in his final months on earth.
