Ronald Stanley Pohl
November 2, 2024
With heavy hearts and cherished memories, we announce the passing of Ronald Stanley Pohl, who left us on November 2, 2024, at the age of 78.
Ron will be lovingly remembered by his sweetheart and best friend, Heather; his children, Derrick (Darla), Lisa (Dave), Jodie (Marvin), and Stacey (Kelly); and his grandchildren, Natalya, Brooke, Peyton, Finn, Matthew, Ethan, Tyler, and Reese. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, and numerous friends, including special friends Andy and Sharon.
Ron was predeceased by his parents, Wilfred and Ethel, and his brother, Norman.
Ron was born on September 14, 1946, in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, where he spent his childhood with friends, exploring the Moose Jaw Flats and skating at the hockey rink on Hochelaga Street. His work journey began at the age of 15, serving burgers at the A&W drive-in on Caribou Street and 13th Avenue—a role that would become a 63-year legacy of service in the Moose Jaw community.
A dedicated member of the Kinsmen Club, Ron devoted many hours to supporting local causes, making a difference while sharing laughter and camaraderie along the way. He was also a longtime member of the Elks Club. At home, he took great pride in hosting family and friends, delighting them with his backyard gatherings and generous servings of food.
Later in life, Ron discovered a new passion: riding his recumbent bike. Over the past five years, he logged thousands of miles, savouring every ride and finding fulfillment in this newfound joy.
A celebration of life for family and friends will be held at a later date.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and caregivers at the Dr. F. H. Wigmore Regional Hospital.
Donations to the Dr. F. H. Wigmore Regional Hospital can be made through the Moose Jaw Health Foundation at (http://www.mjhf.org).
