On Sunday, March 13, 2011, Ron Muir of Portage la Prairie passed away at the age of 62 years. Ron was born April 29, 1948 Grace Hospital, Winnipeg, Mb. He never knew his natural parents. Predeceasing him are Amy and Robin Waterston, parents of choice as angels sent for him, and later brother John Sawyer December 2000. He was deeply saddened when his wife, Cheryl Elder Muir of Pilot Mound, passed April 25, 2005. They were married at MDC and had many good years together. He was strongly attached to dogs Nipper and Snoopy.

Ron grew up in Winnipeg and moved with his family to White Rock, BC, returning with them as a teen to live in Portage. Ron a hard worker was always very independent through long-term polio disabilities and health problems. He was employed at Lab & X-ray, PGH for many years, Arc Industries, Cinema Centre, McDonalds, Avenue Mazda and as health deteriorated in the past two years retired from SAM.

Ron enjoyed meeting friends at Tim Horton's. He was a good person with a unique sense of humor. He leaves many cousins and special cousins Betty and Jim to remember him, along with a support line of friends in the community. He often spoke of his attentive neighbor and constant help Helen Urbanovitch. We always knew Ron would do fine as he had so many good friends including CMHA, People First and Golden Plains Baptist Church who cared about him.
