It is with great love and sadness that we announce the loss of Ronald Roesler, who went to be with the Lord peacefully with family by his side on December 30, 2025 at the age of 83.
He is survived by his sons Randy (Sandra) of Edmonton and Darren (Sabine) of Lake Country; daughter Christine (Paul) Cockings of West Kelowna; grandchildren Arwynn, Ethan and Claudia; sister Trudy Roesler of Kelowna; sisters-in-law Ruth (Joe) Dion of Vancouver, BC, Lois (Harold) Mickelson of Barrhead, AB; nephews: Joshua, Bryon, James; and many dear friends.
Ron was predeceased by his princess, Doris, in 2018, his father Arnold Roesler in 1997, and his mother Erna Roesler in 2011.
Ron was a loyal Christ follower who loved genuinely, encouraged freely, and greeted everyone with a smile. His greatest passions were for God, his family (which included many honorary members), and service to others. He was a loyal friend to many.
Even while enduring 40 years of chronic pain, gratitude never ceased to be the enduring theme in his life. He knew his strength came from God and freely gave Him the glory for it.
Ron will be fondly remembered for his dedication to different roles within the church, including part-time pastoring and music ministry.
We will forever miss his positive, encouraging presence in our lives.
