Myra Kirk wrote a sympathy message

“Celebrating the life and spirit of such a wonderful person. I’ll always remember how open, welcoming, and inclusive Ron is. Every fall at Canadian Technical meetings, I’d wish him a happy birthday and name his age—he finally asked how I knew. I cheekily told him he’s just a month younger than my dad. As coaches, we’re often called Baton Moms. Ron is definitely a Baton Dad—and a great one at that. His energy will always continue to inspire. Much love to the family.”

Alyssa Larade wrote a sympathy message

“Sending condolences from Nova Scotia 🤍 No competition was complete without Ron reciting the judges creed from memory, with passion. He touched the lives of athletes across the country & his sense of humor and kind smile while competing will never be forgotten. He truly wanted nothing more than to see athletes succeed in the sport we all love. Feeling very blessed to have known you, Ron. May you rest in peace. Thinking of the Kopas family at this difficult time.”
