With profound sadness, we announce the sudden passing of Richard Wayne Carron on Friday, December 27, 2024, at the age of 55.
Richard is lovingly survived by his devoted wife of 37 years, Sherry Carron, his soulmate and best friend. He was the proud and loving father of Tiffany and Rebecca Carron and the adoring Papa to his grandchildren: Brooklyn, Hailey, Loghan, Keira, Bentley, Avery, Quinton, and Aalyrah. He is also remembered by his parents, Raylene and Terry Carron, and his siblings, Terry Sr., Terrilynn, Tammy, Michelle, Connie, Mark, Beth, and Walter. His loyal dog, Tika, will miss him dearly, as will his extended family and countless friends.
A man of immense generosity, Richard was always the first to lend a helping hand, whether to a close friend or a complete stranger. He was a devoted family man whose life revolved around his loved ones. Richard embraced life’s simple pleasures and approached everything with passion and skill. From hunting and fishing to sewing dresses or baking wedding cakes, his talents were endless.
Cremation has taken place. Family and friends are invited to Richard’s visitation on Saturday, January 11, 2025, from 3:00–6:00 p.m. at Smith Funeral Home, 1576 London Line, Sarnia. In lieu of flowers, donations in Richard’s memory may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation (cheques only at the funeral home, please).
