Ronald Daryl Black

Peacefully in Carleton Place hospital, Sept 28th 2024, Ron passed away as he lived his life, on his own terms and surrounded by a loving family. 

 Ron was dearly loved by his children; Cindy Billing (Kevin) , Jamie Black (Ariessa), Kyla Harry (Jordan) & Samantha Morrow (Phil Milotte). They will never forget that he “drove more miles in reverse than they will ever drive forward !”

 Ron was a truck driver, mechanic, carpenter, chef, the handiest handyman around, there was nothing he couldn’t fix or build. He was quite proud of his talents but never prouder than he was of his grandchildren; Brock (Alanna), Charlotte (Mike), Avery (Shayne), Natalya, Gigi, Mackenzie, Luke, Jaxon, Kamrin & Parker. 

 If you knew Ron, you know how he adored being a great-grandfather “poppy” to Vaughn, Willa, Duke & Davin. 

 Ron loved family first and foremost, he is survived by his sister Heather Morgan (John) and brother in law Nick Burgess (Linda McAllister) and numerous nieces and nephews. There to meet him at Heavens gates are his parents Cliff and Muriel Black, his brother Morley Black, his sister Dianne Burgess as well as the mother of his two children Patricia Jamieson-Black. 

 Ron’s sense of humour and constant inappropriate one liners will be missed by his many friends, some of which have been a constant source of support for Ron’s family. 

Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Laskey & Darlene Quartermain as well as his many caregivers especially Tracy, Bev and Sharna for their compassionate care and unyielding patience. 

Friends are invited to a celebration of Ron’s life on Friday October 4th from 1pm to 5pm at Lanark Civitan Club 2144 Pine Grove Rd. Lanark ON. It will be a time to share memories, celebrate his journey, and find comfort in each other .

For those wishing to make a charitable donation in Ron’s memory may do so to CHEO or a charity of your choice.
