The passing of Ron Rubadeau

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Ron Rubadeau; a vibrant member of the sailing community in the Okanagan. 

 

In his 73 years, Ron entertained, exasperated, and enthralled a lot of people. “I yam what I yam,” he would declare, and indeed, he was. He is very sadly missed by his friends and colleagues and painfully mourned by his loving family. We deeply thank the many dedicated and extraordinary medical professionals and volunteers who supported Ron through twelve years of health challenges. The care at Kelowna General Hospital, BC Cancer-Kelowna Centre, and Hospice House was exceptional.

 

To honour Ron’s memory, in lieu of flowers, a donation in his name to the Okanagan Humane Society or another charity of your choice would be appreciated. At Ron’s request, there will be no public service. Instead, pour yourself a cold one and think of him. Please share your Ron Rubadeau anecdotes by e-mailing them to the family at stupidamazingfacts@gmail.com.

 

Our deepest condolences are sent to the friends and family of Ron. Please take a moment to read Ron’s full obituary.
