After a brief but courageous battle with cancer, Ron passed away peacefully with his family by his side. Ron is survived by his loving wife Sharon, daughter Rhonda (Wayne) MacDonald, son Alden (Terri) Prier, and also by five precious little people who meant the world to him; Wyatt and Garrett MacDonald, and Max, Owen and Erin (Princess) Prier. Ron also leaves behind brother Marvin (Ginny) and sisters Marlene (Leo) Plamondon, Jean (Dale) McKinney and Eileen Taylor. He was predeceased by his parents Herb and Elsie.

A celebration of Ron’s life will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion in Merritt at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 3.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Nicola Valley Health Care Endowment Fund, re: Ron Prier – Nursing Lounge, 3451 Voght Street, Merritt, BC V1K 1C6.

The family would like to thank Dr. Bester and all of the nurses at the Nicola Valley Health Centre for the wonderful care and compassion that Ron was given throughout his illness and especially in his final days.

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
Today is a gift.
