Ronald Marvin "Ron" Posein
Ronald Marvin “Ron” Posein, age 75, of Winfield, Alberta, passed away peacefully at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on October 13, 2025, at 10:00 p.m.
Born on July 17, 1950, in Wetaskiwin, Alberta, Ron was the beloved son of the late August and Mary Posein.
Ron will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 51 years, Lorraine (Lori); his sons John and Shane; his daughter Tara Cole (Derek); and his cherished grandchildren Britney Cole (Matt) and Dale Cole (Arika). He will also be fondly remembered by extended family and many friends who were touched by his kindness and strength.
Ron was known for his gentle nature, quick wit, and deep love for his family. He faced life with quiet determination and a warm heart, always putting others before himself. Those who knew Ron will remember his sense of humor, his willingness to lend a hand, and the pride he took in his family and community.
A celebration of Ron’s life will be held in the summer of 2026, when family and friends can gather to share memories and honor his life together.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Ron’s memory may be made to the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, whose care and compassion meant so much to the family, their exceptional care, compassion, and support during Ron’s final days.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the life of our dear friend, Ron — a man whose presence brought warmth, laughter, and light into the lives of everyone who had the privilege to know him. Ron had a way of making people feel seen and heard. Whether it was through a quiet conversation, a well-timed joke, or simply being there when it mattered most, his friendship was genuine, unwavering, and deeply felt. He gave freely — of his time, his heart, his wisdom — never asking for anything in return but always ready to offer support when it was needed. He had a strength that didn’t need to announce itself. A gentle resilience, a calm sense of humor, and a steady, loyal heart. Whether we shared everyday moments or life’s greatest challenges, Ron made them all a little easier, a little brighter, just by being himself. Though the world feels quieter without him, Ron’s spirit lives on in the stories we tell, the lessons he taught us, and the love he left behind. His memory is etched in our hearts, and his impact will never fade. Rest well, Ron. You were one of the good ones — and you will always be missed, always remembered, and always loved.
