Ronald G. Jones of Rocky View County, AB, passed away from a heart attack on October 13, 2021.
Born in Yorkton, SK in 1949, to the late Albert & Lillian (Dorey) Jones, Ron grew up on a farm until the age of 12. He then moved to Surrey BC, where he completed high school, and attained his BSc degree from Simon Fraser University.

In 1980, he moved to Elkford BC, where he worked for Fording/Teck Coal. He worked in various environmental positions at Fording River, Greenhills, and Calgary, until his retirement in 2013. Then he moved to a small acreage, where his hobbies became gardening, operating his tractor, watching moose & deer, and going fishing.
Ron is survived by his wife, Barbara Jones, daughter Cathy Bogdanovich (Mark) of Cochrane, brothers Darrel (Bonnie) of Kamloops, and Warren (Michel) of Sechelt. He is also survived by several cousins. His son Gordon Jones predeceased him.
