Ronald Gerald Zablocki, “Zab” to many and “Gigi” to his granddaughters, passed away quietly with family by his side at the age of 78 years, on Tuesday May 23, 2017 in Calgary. Ron was born on July 12, 1938 in Calgary, to Stephen and Ann Zablocki.

He will be forever missed by his family: Joyce, his wife of 55 years, his children Peter and Tracey, Jennifer and Neil and their daughters Edie, Nuala and Agnes. His brother and sister-in-law, Ken and Natalie and their children Shauna (Seann) and Chris (Reece), and great nephew and niece, Logan and Alyssa; his cousins, Rosemary, Bob and Nadia, Andy and Cec.

Ron gave his heart and soul to everyone he met and to everything he did. His love for life and the people he met always shone. He dedicated his time to his family and friends, to the students, teachers and staff at all the schools he worked at. He loved musical theatre, performing and serving for many years on the Medicine Hat Musical Theatre board. He volunteered for many hockey organizations, including the Hockey Hounds and as President of the AJHL, he was the organizer of summer games, President of Kiwanis, President of the Redcliff Golf Course, co-founder of Rattlers Football Club, and the list goes on and on. His huge heart and resounding laughter touched many people over the years. His only regret was that he did not have more time with those he loved so dearly.

Laugh loudly, play sports and sing show tunes. It’s what Ron did.

The funeral service will be held at the PATTISON CHAPEL (540 South Railway Street SE, Medicine Hat) on Saturday May 27, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. with Life Celebrant, David Townsend. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Medicine Hat Musical Theatre 1221 10th Ave SE, Medicine Hat, AB T1A 1G3.
