MWO. Ronald ‘Ron’ Andrew During was born on December 12, 1969 at Halifax, Nova Scotia and passed away at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre on Monday, October 3, 2022, at the age of 52 years. Thank you to everyone who has expressed their wish to honour Ron’s memory in some way. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting support to create a legacy fund in Ron’s name. We are proud to say, we have created the Master Warrant Officer Ronald During Education Legacy Fund. This scholarship will support students attending the Nursing Program at Red Deer Polytechnic and provide an ongoing legacy for Ron. It was important to Ron that he showed support to the amazing nursing staff who cared for him during the last stages of his service injury. This endowment will prepare the essential workers who are needed to care for future service members who may also find themselves with injury due to their work in the Canadian Armed Services. In memory of Ron, you may make a cash, credit, or debit donation toward this scholarship by contacting Abby Kaun at Red Deer Polytechnic. Your contribution will help us establish a scholarship fund that will help Nursing Students for years to come. Donations over twenty-five dollars will receive a charitable tax receipt. If you have any questions, please contact Abby at 403.342.3320 or abby.kaun@rdpolytech.ca If you wish to contribute by cheque, these should be made payable to Red Deer College Foundation, ATTN: Abby Kaun, and mailed to Red Deer Polytechnic, 100 College Blvd. Box 5005, Red Deer, Alberta, T4N 5H5.

My condolences to Ron's family and friends. There is a small countryside school near Velika Kladuša that was heavily damaged following the war in Bosnia. Ron dedicated countless hours to help rebuild it and the school reopened in the spring of 2002. A part of your legacy Ron. It was an honour serving with you, RIP brother.
Rest well my friend. You are sipping scotch and smoking a cigar in Valhalla!! Gone but never forgotten....
