Obituary of Ron Preece

Passed away peacefully surrounded by his beloved family, following a lengthy illness at the Perth Hospital on Wednesday, January 29, 2025, at the age of 72. Ron is survived by his wife of 52 years, Paula (nee Fodey) Preece.  He was the loving and devoted father of Todd Preece (Robin Kinsman), and Kim Norris (Todd Streight).  He was the proud grandfather of Kyle Preece (Diana Lacasse), Courtney Preece (Brock Montgomery) and Nathan Norris; and great-grandfather of Grayson Preece.  Also left to mourn this loss are his sister Pat (Terry Welsh) and brothers-in-law Mike and Peter Fodey and sister-in-law Kathie (Kevin Bradley).  Ron will be fondly remembered by Alissa (Patrick) Thompson and Nikolas Streight, his many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.  He is predeceased by his parents Gord and Myrtle (nee Webb) Preece, his in-laws Paul and Jean Fodey and his sister-in-law Donna Fodey. 

Ron was a proud Papa to his grandkids, an avid hunter, loved riding motorcycles, ski-doos and spending time at the family cottage on Killenbeck Lake with his family and many friends.  He proudly served on the Ottawa Police Service from 1974 until his retirement in 2012. 

Ron's family would like to send their most sincere thanks to Dr. Oh and the staff of the Tay River Health Centre, Drs. Brule and Haddad at the Ottawa Cancer Clinic, his Bayshore Home Nurses and the entire second floor staff of the Perth hospital, for their outstanding care of Ron for the last six weeks of his life.
