ARRIZZA, Ronald (Ronnie)

Passed away suddenly at his residence on Tuesday, February 1, 2022 in  his 65th year. Beloved son of Siegfried (Siegie) Schmidt and the late Heide Schmidt.  Loving brother of Monica Schmidt and Marcus Schmidt (Rosy).

Dear uncle of Stephanie Schmidt (Sandy), Aaron Schmidt, Camila Schmidt Salcido and Cossette Schmidt Salcido, and two great nephews Tyson and Walker.  Also survived by cousins in the Peterborough area, Germany, and Australia.

Ronnie, grew up during the first years of his life in Toronto and Udora, Ontario. Then after school Ronnie worked as a welder in the family business traveling though Canada, the United States and Mexico, until his disabilities became to difficult to handle both.

During Ronnie's life, he always had family and friends at the forefront of his thoughts. Ronnie had his way of thinking and doing things, but at all times was well intentioned.  He had an open heart for anyone that came in contact with him, sometimes stern and to the point, and at other times accepting.

Ronnie will be sadly missed by his family, very close friends and acquaintances.

As an expression of sympathy, a donation in Ronnie's memory may be made to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada.
