It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ronald Cyr, who died at Pavillon Cormier of Faubourg du Mascaret in Moncton, NB, on April 30, 2026, at the age of 90.
Born in Bathurst, New Brunswick, Ron was the beloved son of the late Alyre Cyr and Béatrice (Lavigne) Cyr.
Ron was the devoted husband of Dorothy (Cormier) Cyr of Grande-Anse, NB, with whom he shared 70 wonderful years of marriage.
He is survived by his loving children: Bonita Cyr of Bathurst, NB, and Debbie Levasseur (Pierre) of Dieppe, NB; his cherished grandchildren: Marc and Eric Savoie, and Janelle and Jake Levasseur; and his four great-grandchildren: Hailey, Alyssa, Florence, and Nicolas. He is also survived by his two sisters: Cora Doucet (late Camille Doucet) of Petit-Rocher, NB, and Norma Pitre (late Alcide Pitre) of Bathurst, NB, as well as many nieces and nephews.
Besides his parents, he was predeceased by his infant son, Gary, and his three brothers: Norbert Cyr, Cyr Melvin (Jeannine), and Harold Cyr.
In his 20s, Ron co-founded and co-owned B & C Body Shop and later City Glass in Bathurst, NB. His passion for the glass industry continued, leading him to co-found City Thermal Pane in Beresford, NB.
Following retirement, Ron and Dot enjoyed many years wintering in Haines City, Florida, where they made many friends while playing shuffleboard and bowling.
He was also a proud member of the Bathurst Knights of Columbus (Council 1935) and the Moncton Knights of Columbus (Council 1985), as well as a longtime member of the UCT in Bathurst.
Ron was loved by many, always had a smile on his face and an infectious laugh, and helped many families throughout his life.
