Ronald Towell

Ron Towell passed away peacefully in Didsbury, Alberta on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at the age of 93 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his children, John, Gordon (Christina) and Ann Marie; his grand-children, Kelty (Mark), Alison and Christopher; his great-grand children, Ash and Vera; and his nieces and nephews. Ron was predeceased by his wife Judy in 2015.

Ron graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. After working for other companies, he started his own engineering firm in 1972 in Calgary, later merging into RTM Engineering. In 1986, he began a home renovation business in Tsawwassen, BC. Building was his passion, and he was always willing to give advice on design and construction.

Ron was very athletic and played many sports but really excelled at golf. Genealogy, puzzles, listening to music and reading were some of his favourite pastimes. Judy and Ron loved to travel, visiting the US many times, the British Isles, Europe, Hawaii, New Zealand, and the Caribbean. After Judy’s passing, he stayed active through golf, stick curling, singing in the “Valley Voices” choir and volunteering with “Friends of the Didsbury Library”.

The family would like to thank Dr. Osakuade and the staff at the Didsbury District Hospital for their kindness and care.

In accordance with his wishes, there will be no memorial service.
