We Remember

ENNIG, Ron

October 31, 1966 — July 16, 2023

It is with great sadness to share the news that Ron Ennig passed away due to a brief battle with cancer. This came as a surprise to everyone only being diagnosed three weeks prior.

Ron has been many things during his time on Earth: A beloved father and father figure, a confidant to many, a talented musician, accomplished chef, and so much more. The impact he made in this life is immeasurable and he leaves a huge legacy to carry forward.

Up until the moment he was taken to the hospital, he spent his days serving people of various kinds. His time was spent primarily cooking at the Metro Community, creating meals for anyone who walked through his doors. As an accomplished chef as Ron was, he was an even greater counselor who gave a listening ear to those that needed the care and time the most.

In the weeks before his passing, Ron told his family that “no matter what happens, I win.” Now he is resting easy in heaven knowing that he was a dedicated and faithful servant. He has won.

Ron will be lovingly remembered by his favourite and only son Bailey Ennig; mother Ruth Ennig; siblings Mary-Ellen (Kevin), Bernd (Yvonne), Randall (Maria); nieces and nephews Candice (Mark), Scott (Anna), Stacey, Melissa (Josh); along with many other family members and close friends.

To honour Ron, the family is holding a Celebration of Life on Sunday, July 23, 2023, at 1:00 pm, at Metro Community Church, 1265 Ellis Street, Kelowna, BC, and it will be facilitated by Ron’s close friend and Pastor Joel Feddersen. Please join us to celebrate Ron and to share stories of how he made this world a better place.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Metro Community.

    I can’t even begin to describe the sadness I feel in hearing about the loss of one of my truly closest friends. My most sincere condolences go out to Ron’s family… to who I have known over half my life. I have attached a first clip of video archive going back to when we were experiencing the time of our lives as fellow musicians and brothers. On Ron’s Facebook page, a posted a video of our band Fahrenheit in 1988-89. They were great years of living and playing. Superb memories indeed. Godspeed!

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
