HERZICK, Ronald Joseph Herzick - 1 October, 1947 – 2 October, 2024

My heart is shattered, Ron, the love of my life for 34 years has passed away one day past his 77th birthday on October 2, 2024.

Peacefully at home with loved ones by his side, Ron passed after a short but wicked fight against cancer.

Ron was born on October 1, 1947, to May (nee Ouderkirk) & Joseph Hrizick who both predeceased him.

Ron is survived by his wife Tina and his daughters; Tracy (Darcy), Christina (Chris), Amanda and Kimberly (Brandon).

Ron was the greatest Poppa ever to Brennan, Jayden (Nolan), Keanna, Alyssa (Kurt), Anthony, Joseph “Jay”, Logan, Deacon and Zaiden.

Ron is also survived by his sister Helena (Richard) and sister-in-law Angela (Paul). His nieces and nephews Robbie (Tammy), Laura (Scott), Brian, Carrie(Derrick), Michael (Melanie), Marcel, Jesse (Lauren) and Jasmine.

Ron is predeceased by his brothers Jerry, Richard and Joseph “Joey”.

Ron is also predeceased by his nephews David and Leslie and his niece Kira.

Ron was born at Women’s College Hospital in Toronto and raised in Uxbridge Ontario.

Ron lived many lives and always made sure to live life to the fullest. From a wild child looking to raise hell in his younger years to a devoted family man once he finally decided it was time to settle down. Ron loved his blood and chosen family strongly.

Ron rode motorcycles since he was 16. He owned many bikes through the years. He loved to tear them down and build them back up. Ron was a member of Durham Harley Owners Group since 2014.

Ron will also be deeply missed by his extended and chosen families and friends.

The family would like to thank the doctors at Princess Margaret; Dr Lucy Ma, Dr Andrew Hope, Dr Justin Cruz and Dr Tian Xiao.

We would also like to thank Dr Jay Sinha for being Ron’s primary care physician for almost 30 years.

Cremation has taken place.
