PASSER, Ronald ‘Ron’ Passer

Passer: Ronald James ‘Ron’,
With family by his side at Southlake Health in Newmarket on Friday December 26, 2025, passed away peacefully at the age of 77 years. Beloved husband of Brenda Passer (nee: Adams). Dear father of Deborah ‘Deb’ Passer (Darrell Lewis), Charlene Fox, Carmen Passer, and James Passer (Sierrah Bell). Sadly missed by his grandchildren Kelsey (Carlos), Coleton, Kurtis, Sophia and Wyatt. Remembered by his brothers Larry (Loretta), Billy (Donna), and the late Franklin. Forever in the hearts of his extended family and friends.

Ron was a well-established owner/operator of the family business, Accurate Industrial Waste based out of Toronto, Ont., that was started by his father in 1939. They later moved to Vaughan, Ont., where the family farm was built in Maple, Ont., in the late 1960’s.

Gone from the road, never from our hearts, Ron was an active member in the classic car club community including Aurora Car Club, Recycled Teenagers and the Back Alley Cruisers. He was an avid classic car collector, purchasing and restoring many vehicles over the years starting with his first purchase back in 1981 of a 1956 Ford Victoria.

An animal lover who’s heart was always open to every creature big or small.

We gather to remember a life fueled by a love of cars and the open road. Ron’s passion, pride and joy in every journey left lasting memories with all who knew him. Though Ron has taken his final drive, his spirit lives on in every mile remembered.
