We Remember

KNITTIG, Ronald J.

February 6, 1945 — June 13, 2024

Ronald Knittig passed away with family by his side on June 13, 2024, while in the loving care of the staff at Brandt’s Creek Mews in Kelowna, BC.

Ron was born on February 6, 1945 in Humboldt, SK. While playing guitar and singing for his first band, the Positive Electrons, he met his soon to be wife, Lucille Perron. In 1972, Ron married Lucille and they quickly began raising three boys. Ron started his teaching career in Lloydminster, and it wasn’t long before he and Lucille began pursuing music almost exclusively after relocating to an acreage in Surbiton in 1985. Following Lucille’s death in 2010, Ron moved to Saskatoon to be closer to family, still playing music at gigs while adoring his grandchildren. He shared his musical talents and made a positive impact at every Catholic parish he joined. In 2020 Ron moved to Kelowna, BC where he spent his final years.

Ron is survived by his three sons and seven grandchildren: CARSON (Helena) and their daughters Ava and Braedyn; JAMES (Allison) and their children Hannah, Doan, and Eve; BLAKE (Danea) and their children Thea and Finn. He is also survived by three siblings: Ellen Charko, Brenda (Don) Redhead, and Stan (Sandy) Knittig, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ron was predeceased by his wife, Lucille (Perron) Knittig, his parents George and Alma (Wourms) Knittig, and his sisters Janette Eckl and Donna Redhead.

All are welcome to join the family for Prayers at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, 529 Pangman Street, Outlook, SK, on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at 7:00 pm. Funeral will be held at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish on Wednesday, June 19, 2024, at 11:00 am.  Following the service, Ron will be interred next to his wife Lucille, at St. Peter and Paul Cemetery, Broderick, SK.

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.
