Ronald Alan Pilkey

It is with great love and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ronald Alan Pilkey on August 3, 2025, at his home in Midhurst, Ontario, surrounded by his family, after a short but courageous battle with cancer.

Born on September 17, 1951, in Markham, Ontario, Ron was a devoted husband to Andrea Pilkey, a proud father to Sarah Pilkey (Aaron), and a cherished grandfather to Harrison and Evelyn.

Ron was an avid bird hunter who found joy and peace in the outdoors.  He was known for his quick wit and wonderful sense of humour, bringing laughter to those around him even in life’s most challenging moments.

He is survived by his loving sister Brea Johnston (Robert), brother David Pilkey (Rita), and many nieces and nephews.  He was predeceased by his parents Alvin and Cynthia Pilkey and his brother Brian Pilkey.

Ron will be remembered for his unwavering love for his family, his strength, and the warmth and joy he brought to every life he touched.

Details of a Celebration of Ron’s Life will be shared with family and friends at a later date.
