Ronald Knittig passed away with family by his side on June 13, 2024, while in the loving care of the staff at Brandt’s Creek Mews in Kelowna, BC. Ron was born on February 6, 1945 in Humboldt, SK.

While playing guitar and singing for his first band, the Positive Electrons, he met his soon to be wife, Lucille Perron. In 1972, Ron married Lucille and they quickly began raising three boys. Ron started his teaching career in Lloydminster, and it wasn’t long before he and Lucille began pursuing music almost
exclusively after relocating to an acreage in Surbiton in 1985.

Following Lucille’s death in 2010, Ron moved to Saskatoon to be closer to family, still playing music at gigs while adoring his grandchildren. He shared his musical talents and made a positive impact at every Catholic parish he joined. In 2020 Ron moved to
Kelowna, BC where he spent his final years.

Ron is survived by his three sons and seven grandchildren: Carson (Helena) and their daughters Ava and Braedyn, James (Allison) and their children Hannah, Doan, and Eve, Blake (Danea) and their children Thea and Finn. He is also survived by three
siblings: Ellen Charko, Brenda (Don) Redhead, and Stan (Sandy) Knittig and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ron was predeceased by his wife, Lucille (Perron) Knittig, his parents George and Alma (Wourms) Knittig, and his sisters Jannette Eckl and Donna Redhead.

Ron will be interred next to his wife Lucille, at St. Peter and Paul Cemetery, Broderick, SK.
Memorial donations in Ron’s name will be gratefully received at the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
