Ronald Meicho Obituary

Ronald Lynn Meicho

Ronald Lynn Meicho, age 56, born Aug. 13, 1956 in Seattle Wa., passed away unexpectedly on Aug. 15, 2012 while doing something he loved, a camping/canoeing adventure in B.C. with his children.

He graduated from Shoreline High School in 1974 and received his Bachelor Degree in Civil Engineering from the U.W. in 1987. He worked earlier for the City of Bothell, and most recently, for Gray and Osborne Inc. in Seattle. He resided in Edmonds, Wa.

He is survived by his wife of 27 yrs. Cary, their children Sara and Zachary, his parents James and EmmaLou and his brother Keith.

Ron was devoted to his family and especially enjoyed watching his children participate in sports activities such as ice hockey and soccer. He loved building and racing model sailboats called T-37's and was Vice Commodore of the Pacific Northwest Model Yacht Club. Other interests included hiking, camping and fishing.

Ron was a kind man, always volunteering and helping others. Always dependable, never rushed and a mentor to many.

A Memorial service will be held on Sat. September 22nd at 1:00pm at Edmonds United Methodist Church 828 Casper Street, Edmonds, Wa. 98020. Reception immediately following at the church.

A private internment will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to:

Quesnel R.C.M.P. / Victim Services, c/o Cindy Osip, 584 Carson Ave., Quesnel, B.C. V2J2B5

I too was stunned to learn of Ron's sudden passing. Ron was a good friend who taught me much about patience and resolve. He always packed the lightest pack but was never unprepared. Kind and gentle and always of good humor he was truly a good man. We will miss him greatly.
