Passed away peacefully at Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, Goderich with family by his side on Saturday, March 7, 2026 at the age of 90. Predeceased by his beloved wife Margaret (Bertram) Carroll. Cherished father of Ian (Kathy), and Brenda (Bill). Adored grandpa of Matthew, Mitchell (Michelle), and Michelle. Fondly remembered by their father Terry. Loving great-grandpa of Jensen, Hadley, and Samuel. Dear brother and brother-in-law of Wayne and Cheryl Carroll, and Patricia Prise. Predeceased by his parents Harry and Eileen (Hodgins) Carroll. Fondly remembered by his nieces, nephews, and cousins.
Ron grew up on a farm outside Lucan (Saintsbury). He farmed his whole life until he retired and moved to Exeter with Margaret in 2011. He loved all animals, but horses held a special place in his heart. He enjoyed country music, playing cards, and rarely missed a hockey game when his beloved Maple Leafs were playing. Ron was also a fan of the Blue Jays.
Cremation has taken place and a celebration of Ron’s life will be held at Trivitt Memorial Church, 264 Main Street South, Exeter on Saturday, May 23rd from 1 – 4 PM.
Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation would be appreciated by the family.

Mark Heimrich
Ian & Kathy, Brenda & Bill, Wayne & Cheryl, Patricia, and all Ron’s family & friends;
Our sincere condolences in the passing of Ron. He was a super kind and friendly fellow. Ron & Marg were valued customers for many years. I had several good visits with them both at the farm, and after. They were always very hospitable and thoughtful. Our friendship continued when they moved into Exeter, not too far from my office. We would often have a chat on the sidewalk as they were out walking. When our son Spencer was born just over 17 years ago, they even bought him a little gift! I will always fondly remember both Ron & Marg. I’m sure you’re all comforted to know they have reunited. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Rest in peace Ron.
In sympathy,
Mark & Julie Heimrich, Sarah, Scott & Spencer, and staff at Lifetime Water Products, Exeter.
