Ronald Dean Barnes
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ron Barnes, who passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, May 14th, at the age of 73, with his loving family by his side.
Ron was predeceased by his parents, Forrest Barnes and Helene Goodman. He leaves behind his devoted wife, Trudy Winslow; his brother John (Trisha), along with their son, Alex.
Ron was a loving father to Monica (Michael), Jeremy (Amy), Jeff (Carrie), and Julie (John) and a proud stepfather to Wayne (Tiffany) and Odell (Melanie). He was a cherished grandfather to Zachariah, Karrina, Forrest, Kaylene, Maddie, Fiona, Falcon, Scarlett, Nathan (Kaylen), Jenna, Tyler (Roxane), Brenna (Noah), and Erika. He was also a beloved great-grandfather to Temperance, Roman, and Brian.
Ron also leaves to mourn his brother-in-law Miles Winslow and many extended family members and a wide circle of lifelong friends—especially within the horse world, where he was known not only for his skills and dedication, but for the deep connections he built with those around him.
An extraordinary cowboy in both spirit and action, Ron left an indelible mark on all who knew him. His presence, his stories, and his enduring love for horses will never be forgotten.
A private graveside service will be held at a later date. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the CLSC of Cookshire for their compassionate and dedicated care.

I had the great pleasure of working with Ron at Orkin Canada as my regional manager! I remember everytime he travelled to Winnipeg, he was full of smiles and laughs! He always wanted to be right there interacting with staff at branch and made everyone feel appreciated. Ron, you were a pleasure to work with, you will be deeply missed. My condolences go out to the family of friends of Ron! May you rest in peace riding horses!
