Ronald Morrissey Obituary
MORRISSEY, Ronald John - On the evening of August 1st, 2020, when the sky opened up and the thunder rolled, Ron Morrissey was welcomed to Eternal Rest at the "Gates of Heaven". After a brief illness with cancer, Ron passed peacefully away in the presence of his loving family at the Palliative Care Unit, Dr. Leonard A. Miller Centre, St. John's, at the young age of 53.
At Ron's request cremation has taken place.
Ron is predeceased by his parents: William (Ron) and Loretta Morrissey; his in-laws: Leonard and Mary Wade; and all members of the Morrissey, Keating, and Wade families.
Leaving to mourn his wife Leonce (Lea) of 34 years, and their beautiful daughter Taylor; his brother Tom and his family, their mother Mary McGrath, and extended Morrissey, Wade, Keating, and Joy families. Ron leaves behind many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brother-in-laws, sister-in-laws; God Child Casey Bartlett; best friend, cousin and neighbour Kenny Joy; his co-workers at Holyrood Hydro Plant with B&W; many friends and extended family members.
Ron was a proud member of Boilermakers Local 203 for 32 years, and Ironworkers Local 764. After many years travelling for work Ron made his nest for 20 years with Alstrom and then B&W at Holyrood, where he enjoyed his job, co-workers, and many friends he made along the way. Ron dearly loved Lea and Taylor, he wasn't shy to express his feelings regarding them, and the three of them enjoyed life and made endless memories. It's very sad that their time together was cut short, however we are sure Ron is their Guardian Angel and will guide and protect them forever. Ron enjoyed fishing, hunting, Friday night drinking buddies, and most of all his boat. He was saddened when his health failed and he did not get his boat in the water this year, however, he managed to climb aboard just two weeks ago and sit in his captain's chair for one last time.
Ron's memory will live through his family and friends as a great person, a super dad, a loving husband, and a hard worker. He didn't leave many stones unturned, there was no tomorrow with him - if something needed to be done or fixed, it was done the same day.
A very special thank you to Dr. Lake, Staff at the Dr. H. Bliss Murphy Cancer Care Centre, and Staff at the Dr. Leonard A. Miller Centre.

No words can express how saddened we feel for our Sister Lea and Neice Taylor . Ronnie was apart off our family for many years . He was a very devoted husband to our sister and a proud Dad to his precious daughter Taylor. He lived life like everyone else-worked hard -looked after his family -enjoyed a Friday night with his buddies -and Sunday Dinners -well I better not forget another pride and joy off his - His boat The Taylor Marie.We are certainly going to miss our brother -in-law . But we take comfort knowing he’s is in the arms off The Angels now and no more suffering .

It says " what would you like to say" well I really have no words, I am so sad for you both -Lea and Taylor, you were his world. When I think back of my years in Kitchuses, Ronnie was always the one to pick a game with or have a laugh, going on the bikes up for a feed and a beer with his buddies. When it came to his wife and child let no man stand in his way, he loved you both so much. Saying prayers here in New Hampshire, stay safe, and God bless. RIP Ronnie-- Angie Wade Carroll

Very saddened to hear of Ron's passing. Ron was true professional at the workplace - a "go to" person in every aspect of the work going on at the Holyrood Thermal Generating Station. On more than one occasion when trying to figure something out I would hear "we'll get Ron to figure something out for that" and I'd never hear of it again because you could depend on him to handle it - whatever it was. Although I never had the pleasure to know him much outside of work I could tell he was a dedicated family man who loved his family very very much - he spoke of his wife and daughter often. Truly a man of integrity with an incredibly strong work ethic; his passion for the safety and well being of his co-workers was inspiring. He has left a big hole in the workforce at the Station and he is missed dearly.
Godspeed my friend,
Jeff Vincent

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal....Love leaves a memory no one can steal. Lea & Taylor as I read the beautiful tribute to Ronnie although he did not live a long life, he certainly lived a full life in the time he had. Clearly he touched the lives of all who knew him. Although his presence will be greatly missed, I pray that you will find comfort in all the memories of your life with Ronnie & solace that he is now at peace in the loving circle of his parents & all those who went before him & Our Father in Heaven. God bless you all.
