On January 23, 2022 the world lost an amazing man.  Ronald Studney was born on June 13, 1944 in Saskatoon, Sk.  He grew up on a farm near Mayfair, Saskatchewan until he moved to Hay River, Northwest Territories to work with the Department of Fisheries.  This is where he met the love of his life, Verdeen (Dean) and together they settled down in North Battleford, Saskatchewan.  Ron and Dean were married for 51 beautiful years. They raised 5 children and had 9 grandchildren.  Ron had a diverse career experience in his life including seismic drilling, farming, and truck driving. His greatest passion was carpentry, leaving his mark throughout the Battlefords.  He was an avid sports fan, always eager to talk about the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Blue Jays.  Ron was exceptional, striving for excellence in everything he did. The area he shined the most was being a husband, dad and grandfather (papoose).  Ron was the quintessential family man. From attending regular family dinners, travelling with his wife, children and grandchildren, coaching sports teams, and watching every activity his family was involved in; Ron was always his family’s biggest supporter.
