Ronald Kay Sirrine

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Ronald Kay Sirrine on April 2, 2025, at the age of 84. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, Ron lived a life rich in faith, family, and music.
Born and raised in Mesa, Arizona, Ron was the youngest of four children of George Onel Sirrine and Vera Cluff Sirrine. A proud fourth-generation native with deep pioneer roots, Ron held his heritage close to his heart. He graduated from Mesa High School in 1958, where he was a proud Jackrabbit and often shared his favorite saying, "Carry On."
Ron was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served a 2½-year mission in the Germany Frankfurt Mission and remained deeply devoted to the gospel throughout his life. He loved attending the temple and served in various roles, including as a ward and stake missionary, always eager to share his strong testimony of Jesus Christ.
Music was Ron's lifelong passion. He began playing piano at the age of 8 and went on to teach hundreds of students over the years. As an accomplished concert pianist, he performed for Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, and graced stages large and small throughout his life. Whether performing at weddings, private gatherings, or simply sitting down at a piano whenever he had the chance, Ron's music uplifted and inspired all who heard it.
He earned a bachelor's degree in English and History and a master's in German from Arizona State University. His love of language and culture, along with a deep sense of adventure, led him on many travels, including cherished family road trips to Alberta, Canada, and European adventures with his beloved wife, Sandra.
Ron met Sandra Bullock in 1952 at the age of 12, and they were sealed in the Cardston Alberta Temple in 1963. Together they raised five children: Sharee (Blake) Peavler, Stephanie Shepherd, Jennifer (Brian) Dunks, Scott (deceased), and Natalie (David) Romney. Ron was a proud grandfather to 15 grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.
He is preceded in death by his parents, siblings Keith, Gail, and Nadine, and his son Scott. He will be remembered for his musical gifts, his kindness, his love of family and faith, and his infectious sense of humor.
Ron's legacy of faith, music, and love lives on in the lives of those he touched. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
