Ronald Noble Burrows passed away at his home in Shell Lake, Sask. on May 16, 2026, at the age of 86.

He was predeceased by his parents, Garnet and Ethel Burrows; his sister, Lois Byers; his nephew, Steven Lamontagne; and his two brothers-in-law, Louis Lalonde and Terry Saher.

He is survived by his three sisters Carol Saher, Myrna Kohen (Joseph), and Lenore Jessop (Wayne); Nieces and nephews eldest to youngest: Leanne Minnema (Wayne), Shannon Berreth (Todd), Darren Saher (Kelly), Renee Rurka (Dwayne), Wade Byers (Connie), Zoie Saher, Dion Lamontagne (Juliane), Janice Prefontaine (Marc), Jennifer Jones (Kyle), Brian Jessop (Lindsey), and Jason Jessop (Netta); Also numerous grand-nephews and nieces, and many cousins.

Ron’s life was defined by his passion for the skies. Those who knew him will remember his extensive career in aviation, which began with flying his Cessna 120 over the Royal Community Pasture rounding up cattle. Over the decades his skills took him on many paths including charter passenger flights, freight transport, and aerial firefighting. In his retirement, Ron continued his commitment to the skies and his community as a dedicated volunteer for CASARA (Civil Air Search and Rescue Association) in Prince Albert.

A man who preferred and thrived on the simple things in life, Ron lived fully and contentedly on his own terms and in a manner of his own choosing .- independent, unpretentious, tenacious, amicable.

Beloved brother, brother-in-law, uncle, cousin, friend. Gone but remembered and cherished in our hearts always.

Interment took place August 29, 2026, in the Hawkeye Cemetery, Sask.
