Ronald J. Stevens

It is with great sadness the family announces the passing of Ronald James Stevens, which occurred Thursday, August 31st, 2023, at Bobby’s Hospice, surrounded by his loving family.  Born 1945, in Saint John, he is the son of the late Arnold and Jennie (Irving) Stevens.  Ron worked as a Labourer with Local 900 and also worked for the Coast Guard, Shipyard and Port before retiring in 2017.  He loved playing crib, going for walks and drives, playing pool and he was an avid Toronto Maple Leaf fan.  Ron enjoyed music, spending time with his wife Pam at Tin Can Beach, sharing stories while hanging with friends and having a beer.  Ron was the most perfect man to walk into Pam’s life and Pam was the most perfect woman to walk into Ron’s life.  Pam was there for Ron, to care for him 24/7 and loved him 24/7 when he got sick. He was her world.  Their love and commitment together was stronger than ever and he will be greatly missed by his wife Pamela, his family and his friends.
