It is with deep sadness that
we announce the passing of Ronald Joseph LeBlanc, affectionately known
as Ronnie, who passed away peacefully on Friday, May 16, 2025, at the
age of 61.
Ronnie was born in 1964 at The Moncton Hospital. In
1964, his family moved to St-Édouard, where he spent his
early childhood before relocating to Waltham, Massachusetts in 1967.
In his late twenties, Ronnie returned to Canada, settling back in New
Brunswick where he began a lifelong career in construction. He took
great pride in his work—always building, fixing, and
creating with his hands—and found purpose and satisfaction
in every project he touched.
He had a deep love for country music, a
strong connection to his roots, and an even stronger devotion to his
family. Ronnie was a supportive, loving father to his four children,
and his greatest passion in life was taking care of those he loved.
His sense of humor, quick wit, and storytelling spirit made him a joy
to be around. Whether he was sharing a laugh, spinning a tale, or
simply being present, Ronnie left a lasting impression on everyone he
met.
Ronnie was predeceased by his beloved parents;
Albert J. LeBlanc and Lelia P. LeBlanc (Pellerin); his brothers Roy
LeBlanc and Clarence LeBlanc and his granddaughter
Angelica.
He is survived by his children: Sara, Jessica,
Nicole, and Jessie; his grandchildren: Junior, Emma, and Isabelle; and
his siblings: Linda, Leonard & Lisa (wife), Claudette
& Jean-Paul (husband), Nelson & Betsy (wife) and Roger
& Louise (wife). He will also be deeply missed by many
cousins, extended family members, and close
friends.
Ronnie will be remembered for his big heart, strong
hands, and the laughter he brought into our lives. Though he is no
longer with us, he will live on in our hearts and memories
forever.
