Johnny will also be remembered by family and friends as a rescuer of many cats, dogs and bunnies over the years. John is survived by son Jonathan, daughter Allie; brother Alf and sister-in-law Jean, with whom he spent his last months; as well as his extended family throughout southern Ontario. Thanks to Chantal and the Northumberland Hills palliative care staff, and to Kellie at Newcastle Funeral Home, for their kindness and professionalism during this time. Do not hurry as you walk with grief; It does not help the journey. Be not disturbed by memories that come unbidden. Swiftly forgive; And let the Universe speak for you unspoken words. Unfinished conversations will be resolved. Be not disturbed. Be gentle with the one who walks with grief. If it is you, be gentle with yourself. Swiftly forgive; take time, be gentle As you walk with grief.

KIRKLAND, Ronald Kenneth June 15, 1941 - February 2, 2022 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Ron passed away suddenly, but peacefully, at Campbellford Memorial Hospital on Wednesday, February 2, 2022, just over ten months after losing his loving wife, Diane. "Absent from the body... present with the Lord." II Cor. 5:8 Ron was the beloved father of Malinda (Don) Towns, Stephen Kirkland, Faith Ann (Wes) Bartley, Kenneth Kirkland, Andrea Kirkland, Glenna (Dan) Gordon and Rhonda Kirkland Gorham, grandfather of 24, and great grandfather of 18. He was the beloved brother of Robert (Bob) Kirkland and predeceased by his parents Kenneth Kirkland and Mae Kirkland (nee Holmes). Ron was born in Ottawa, Ontario and at two years old moved to Smiths Falls for several years before his family settled in the Oshawa/Whitby area. He married Diane Clark on October 13, 1962 and she was his faithful and loving wife for 58 years until her death on March 17, 2021. In 1985, Ron and Diane moved to Port Hope, Ontario where Ron was transferred for work as a butcher at A&P. Even though he was transferred back to the Oshawa and Whitby area stores, they remained in Port Hope for many years before moving back to Oshawa briefly, and then eventually Havelock, Ontario for their retirement years. Ronald loved God and would always strive to tell people about his personal relationship with Him and prayed they would also seek the same.
