Born in Saint John on June 18, 1954 a son of the late Neill Alex and Minnie (Parlee) McKay. Family members and beloved friends remember Ron as a loyal, trustworthy and very intelligent person who was always available to bend an ear to a friend in need. He was a gentle soul who had a quippy comedic sense of humour that made us laugh. Ron especially enjoyed music, poetry, reading and was a history buff. He was a soft-spoken person who enjoyed solitaire time. Survived by five sisters: Dawn, Glenna, Patricia (Clarence), Beverly and Grace (Stephen); three brothers: Winston (Helen), Lawrence (Dora) and Bruce (Donna); several beloved nieces, nephews and cousins. Besides his parents, Ron was predeceased by a brother, Earl Neill and a sister, Nancy Lynn.
