It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of Ron Hollingsworth. Ron was born on March 30, 1962, and passed away in a tragic workplace accident on Thursday, July 10, 2025.
Ron was raised in Powell River. Throughout his life, he loved all aspects of sports, including soccer, baseball, running and hockey. He started working as a logger at the age of 15 and maintained this career for his entire life.
Ron met his wife and life partner, Marnie, while living in Victoria. They married in 1992 before moving back to Powell River, where they purchased their forever home. Together, they built a beautiful family including three daughters and several pets.
At heart, Ron was a family man who always put those around him first. He prioritized his loved ones before all else, attending every practice, game, show or celebration for his daughters.
Ron always had a quick wit, a joke and a smile to share with those around him. He was known for always being his most genuine self.
Ron took great pride in his family, home and work. He was a dedicated coach for all three of his daughters. He was involved in Powell River Youth Soccer, the track and field club, soccer refereeing, air cadets and was an honorary member of the Cranberry Fire Hall.
Ron was predeceased by his father Dan Hollingsworth. He is survived by his mother Joan Hollingsworth; sister Linda Lentz; brother Dan Hollingsworth; wife Marnie Hollingsworth; and daughters Austyn (Ryan), Bayley (Zak) and Cayce (Jeremy). He also had a big extended family.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out, shared their love and helped hold us up when we needed it.
With love, Marnie, Austyn, Bayley and Cayce.
