In loving memory of Ronald Jaeger, who was taken away from his family too soon on November 9, 2021.
Ron was predeceased by his wife of 54 years, Vicky earlier this year. He is survived by his children Tony (Diana) and Scott (Kelly) and 6 grandchildren: Dayna, Darian, Ryan, Erik, Kaedyn and Addie. Also survived by his brother Lloyd (Dorothy) Wright, sister Ruby (Larry) Beck, sister-in-law Cindy (Willy) Danielson, nephew Darcy (Debbie) and niece Stacy (Jacques), Goddaughter Amber Church and many extended family members including his Evergreen Road “family” and close friends.
Ron was master of all trades and had many jobs over the years – mortician, contractor, truck driver, owner and operator of Big Eagle Lodge where he made many friends who became family. He enjoyed building, being outdoors fishing and hunting and helping and spending time with his children and grandchildren. Ron also had a wonderful knack for telling stories and his sayings would leave you in stitches (or disbelief).
Ron will be missed greatly and his family imagine him fishing with Vicky and best friend Dale in a place where there are no limits.

March 1, 2023 at 1:59 amIt’s a long shot that anyone will read this, but still a tribute to Ron. He and I worked together in Gordon Lake/Werner Lake in 1964-65. I was a very green 17 years old, a prairie kid from central Manitoba. And he was an easy-going mentor who not only taught me about the milling of ore, but also a few life skills that I lacked. He also taught me poker. And we both liked fine cars. But mostly I remember kindness, generosity, and friendship. Farewell, Ron,
