In lieu of flowers, the greatest gift Ron and his family could ask for is for you to visit the website “jw.org” to enjoy the hope for our dead loved ones that Ron so fervently believed in.

The world didn’t know what was coming when Ron entered it on October 11, 1955, to Gino and Doris Tarini (both predeceased). He grew up in the close-knit community of Markstay, surrounded by the love of his siblings: Brenda (Tom), Donald (Shelley), Daniel (Betty Anne), Maria. The family shared a special bond, strengthened by their time on the family farm. They worked hard but they wouldn’t be Tarinis if they didn’t find time for antics and hijinks that created lasting memories. Their time together was filled with laughter, fun, and the joy of simply being together. This was just the start of what truly defined Ron and his love for family. As they grew older, Ron and his siblings loved to reminisce about their childhood, sharing stories and reliving the good times. Ron's deep love for family was evident in how he cherished these moments.

The greatest joy in Ron's life was his beloved wife, Danielle. It all began on a seemingly ordinary day in 1978 aboard a Greyhound bus. Danielle spotted Ron among the passengers right away, not blind to his good looks. She decided to take a chance. Instead of calling her father when she got off the bus as planned, she chose to follow Ron when he disembarked to hop on a city bus. Ron, always a charmer and quick with wit, greeted her with a line that would become the first of many memorable moments between the two of them. "If I was as good looking as you, I'd hitchhike," he quipped. His playful confidence and spontaneity instantly captivated Danielle. They both laughed and decided to hitchhike together. Little did they know, this impromptu adventure would be the beginning of a lifelong journey. From that day forward, Ron and Danielle were inseparable. They were married on July 14, 1979. Their love story was filled with laughter, shared dreams, and a series of unforgettable escapades. Ron's knack for finding joy in the simplest of moments and his ability to make Danielle smile and affectionately roll her eyes were the cornerstones of their relationship.
Ron never missed a chance to tell Danielle how beautiful she was. His favorite times with her were the simple ones—just lying on the hammock together, talking, and enjoying each other’s company. He always wanted her to relax and take in the moment with him. Ron thought Danielle was the best cook ever, and he made sure she knew it. When she worked hard, he was right there, pouring her a glass of wine, drawing her a bubble bath, and giving her foot rubs when he could. He loved her so much that he’d do anything to keep her from worrying. Ron’s love for Danielle was strong and steady, and he showed it every day.

Ron’s journey to finding the true meaning of life began when he encountered Bible truths that changed the course of his existence. Baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses on March 9, 1985, Ron’s life took on a new direction, filled with purpose, hope, and an unwavering commitment to sharing the truths he had learned with others. Ron’s passion for the Bible and its teachings was infectious. Like lightning, he took off on his new path, eager to share the hope for the future that he had found. He spoke to anyone and everyone, always ready to discuss the scriptures and the promises they held. For Ron, this was not just a duty but a deep joy—an expression of his love for Jehovah and his desire to help others find the same peace and hope that he had discovered.
Working alongside his beloved wife, Danielle, Ron dedicated himself to teaching others about Jehovah. Together, they supported each other in their ministry and in setting a fine example for their family. Their partnership in this work was a source of great happiness for Ron, who found true contentment in serving alongside the woman he loved. Ron’s devotion to his faith extended to his role as a father. He made it his life’s work to instill a love for Jehovah in his children, guiding them with the same care and dedication that he showed in his ministry. He wanted nothing more than for his family to share in the hope and joy that he had found, and he worked tirelessly to ensure that these values were at the center of their lives.

While Ron had an inherent sense of family, he never intended to have a large family of his own. He had a beautiful singing voice and aspired to be the next Elvis Presley. Everything changed for Ron with the birth of his daughter, Talia. Initially, he found her scrunched-up face both alarming and cute, giving her an affectionate nickname that was special between the two of them. But the next day, his heart melted as he saw her as his perfect little girl. Moved by his newfound love, he quickly wrote a song with the lyrics, “My little baby Talia, she’s my special girl.” He sang it often as a lullaby, and it became a cherished symbol of their bond throughout the years.

Later he and Danielle welcomed their second child, and only son, Gino. Named for Ron’s own father, this was a testament to his desire to keep family connections strong. Through the years, Ron enjoyed going on boys fishing trips, making Gino, or “Bad Boy” as he called him, sit at the front of the boat looking out for rocks. Many rocks were hit and almost no fish were caught. But of utmost importance to Ron was bonding. It’s what he was most proud of his son for in his adulthood–continuing on as a family man as well, passing on those same values that were so important to him.

Ron experienced a profound sense of both shock and joy with the arrival of his twin daughters, Leah and Kaila. Ron always found Leah’s sense of humor irresistible, affectionately calling her “Snowblower Leezer” for her playful role in clearing the driveway. Together, they’d bundle up and tackle the snow, with Leah eagerly turning the chute handle. As she grew older, Leah took over the task, doing Ron’s driveway herself. Afterwards, they’d sit together, sharing stories and a glass of wine. Those moments, filled with laughter and love, were a cherished part of their bond, leaving a lasting memory in Ron’s heart.

Ron and Kaila understood each other in ways that words often failed to capture. They were incredibly alike in their emotions and feelings and shared a love for nostalgia. Both of them found solace in the memories of the ‘good ol’ days’. They shared a knack for writing, both loving a good illustration. One of the most cherished memories Ron held close was from when Kaila was just a child. Kaila came across a piece of writing and carefully copied it down to share with him. Ron was deeply touched by her thoughtful gesture, so much so that he affixed the handwritten copy into his Bible, where it remained for years. It became a cherished piece of his life, a constant reminder of the bond he shared with his daughter.

Ron loved being Papa to his grandkids: Rachel, Brandon, Gabriella, Presley, Alexus, Jude, Grey, and his new great-granddaughter, Oakley, along with his grandkitty, Edgar. While each held a special place in his heart as he created unique memories with them individually, in his eyes, they were all "Joe," a nickname he affectionately used for every grandchild, which they would all respond to in unison causing confusion and laughter. One of Ron’s favorite things was taking his grandkids on quad rides. He’d load them all up and head off on fun adventures through the bush. The kids loved the thrill of zooming around with Papa, and those rides became some of their best memories. Ron also enjoyed spontaneous outings, like surprising them with ice cream or hamburgers. These simple, special moments were his way of connecting with each grandkid and making treasured memories together. A few weeks before he passed, Ron met his first great-granddaughter and was instantly captivated by her sweetness. He was thrilled to see she had his ears, a small but special trait that deepened his joy and connection during his final days.

Describing Ron is nearly impossible. If you met Ron, you’d never forget him. Even the smallest encounters with him left a lasting impression. He was larger than life, loved to laugh, loved people, and he loved his family and friends. Ron was known for working hard, and he and Danielle taught their children the same dedication. He never shied away from telling his family how proud he was of them. His spontaneous nature turned everyday moments into extraordinary adventures, like transforming a quad ride through the bush into “Rabbit Land” or a snowy midnight walk into a magical journey. No matter how things went awry—and they did always go awry—Ron always figured them out and turned them into memorable stories.
The outdoors was where Ron thrived, often seen building fires to gather friends and family. He loved fishing trips with his dear friend Brian Couture. Even when they never caught any fish and always had misadventures, the laughter they shared was worth more than any catch.

Resilient through life’s challenges, Ron always bounced back with a positive attitude. He had a soft spot for those who were struggling, regularly calling to offer encouragement, remind them of their strengths, and share a prayer. His compassion extended to the elderly, who he made feel special with his warm hugs. Ron’s ability to care deeply and love big left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

Ron had an extraordinary capacity to love, pouring his heart into everyone around him. Despite his immense affection and care for others, he often struggled with truly understanding how deeply he was loved in return. Those who survive him can only hope that he knew the profound impact he had on their lives and how cherished he was. Ron touched countless lives with his kindness, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and positivity. The legend of Ron Tarini will endure in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him, a testament to a life well-lived and a love that was truly immeasurable.
Lastly, in times of joy and in moments of difficulty, he would remind his family of the importance of staying united. His unwavering belief in the power of togetherness was a cornerstone of his life.
It would have brought Ron much comfort to know that he unwittingly left a legacy to his family–daily quoting the great Papa Mousekewitz, who said, “We’ll be all right. As long as we’re together, we’ll be all right.”
