Pam, there are no words, I cannot even think of the depth of your sadness. You have lost your best friend, your supporter and father of your children and I can't be where you are. Please do not feel you are alone. There are prayers all around you keeping you strong, and with them is Brian's spirit. You will be in our Church's prayers this Sunday. May Graydon and Jaclyn be a living memory of their father.

The thing I will remember most about Brian is how Jaclyn is always smiling at baseball. And I mean always. She is just a very content kid, and you get that because Brian and Pam are such loving parents and care so much about their kids. I would challenge us all to learn something from Brian and strive to create that warm atmosphere at home that he created with Jaclyn and Graydon. Good work, Brian - we will miss you

Pam, Graydon and Jaclyn
How shocked I was to hear of this sad news. Lori-Anne told me last week. Brain was an amazing guy with a compassionate heart for all 3 of you and his many friends. Pam our paths haven't crossed much over the years other then at Joy Bible Camp but what great memories I have of both of you there. My first encounter with Brian, we co-counseled Sr Youth together for 2 years. I don't remember the cabin kids much but Brian I'll never forget. His smile, he was always laughing and smiling, his devotions. He was a good guy and a newly married man and a good influence on me. He knew how to have fun and get things going but he never crossed the line. Proverbs 10:9 'Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.' Brian was bang on; his love for you, the kids and others showed in his Godly character. We continue to pray for you and your kids during this tough time. Love in Christ -The McDonell Family

Brian,
When that Alarm rings, you will be back on the truck with me, because I will always carry a piece of you with me. I'm a better person for knowing you, and i will always cherish the days we all spent together at #113.
Love yeah Big guy!

Brian, you are a treasure in heaven!
Even though it has been quite a few years, I cannot forget your smile, your dimples, and your nurturing spirit!
I remember baby-sitting Graydon at the church... you came to check on him, and had such a perfect, fatherly touch.
He must have been close to the age of a newborn (less than 3 months)? You settled him to sleep ever so peacefully!
My heart aches for you, Pam, as well as for Graydon, Jaclyn, and all of your family and friends! Praying for God's comfort, strength, and peace to be with all of you!

To the Ronson family;
I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Brian was a great man whom I had the pleasure of starting the Toronto Fire Department with in sept.1989. Although our paths didn't cross again over the years I knew he was an honest hardworking firefighter who will be sadly missed. I wish you and your family all the best in these very trying times.

Pam, Graydon and Jaclyn:
Our hearts are breaking for all of you!! At church on the Beach this past Sunday, in Brian's honour, the service was dedicated to singing, sharing and prayer. As we sang the last verse of "In Christ Alone", I don't think there was a dry eye anywhere.
"No guilt in life, no fear in death,
this is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
JESUS commands my destiny.
No power of hell no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from his hand;
'Till he returns or CALLS ME HOME,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!"
Praying you'll know His comfort and strength every moment of every day!
We love you!

So shocked and saddened to learn of Brian's sudden passing and sending deepest sympathy to Pam and all the family. Praying that even though we don't understand why, we will see God in everything, and be able to sing with Andrae Crouch, "Through it all, through it all, I've learned to trust in Jesus, I've learned to trust in God... I've learned to depend upon His Word." May the God of all comfort be with you and strengthen you in the days to come.

It was with heartfelt sadness that we learned the news of Jaclyn's father last night at the Ajax Spartans Baseball game. My daughter, Ashlie is one of the other girls on Jaclyn's team. We saw and talked to your husband a few times at the games. Tonight I found out from good friends of ours who attend Forestbrook that your family also does and that your husband was saved as we are (we attend Bayfair). We are still saddened by the news and we are still praying for you and your family, but we rejoice in the fact that we know that your husband/father is safe with the Lord and we have the blessed assurance of seeing him again. If there's anything that we can do for you, even in regards to rides to baseball etc, please do not hesitate to contact me. My name is Laurel Willmott. We will be away for the next 2 weeks, but we'll be back after the 24th.

Dear Ronson Family,
We were shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of Coach Ronson. Although we did not know him personally, we saw him in action at some of Jaclyn's basketball games. What an incredible role model for your children, and what a tremendous gift he has given of love and support. All of the Peterborough Power Bantam Girls and their families wish you God's love and his peace.

Hey Pam, Graydon and Jaclyn)
What to say... I was in Jamaica with our youth when I heard of Brians' accident and could not respond earlier. I so wanted to come to the funeral but simply cannot!! I was glad to have spoken to him at Jon and Joy's wedding. He was the same old Brian, so kind, interested, and "bragging" about his kids. Pam, Brian was a great guy. I will always remember him as the "soft rock". The rock, because of his physical demeanor and solid faithfulness. But he was so soft in his servant heart and sensitivity. I will miss him and therefore cannot imagine what you and the kids must feel. I am praying that God grants you the grace to trust Him at this time, to believe that somehow this is "well", and to know that this separation is only temporary. I wish I was closer to give you a hug and to be there for your kids. Thankfully, you are surrounded by a great family and many who love you at FB. I will be praying for you over the next few days, then weeks... God bless...
