Ronnie....... Passed away 17th August 2009 5.15am

Ronnie was born and bred in Newcastle upon Tyne, he lived life in the fast lane at 100mph, he was a
talented artist, muscian and an overall eccentric man!! Those of you who met Ronnie will never ever
forget him, and will always have your own fond memories of him. He shared a love of music, fine art
and most of all his boat!!!

He was a devoted partner of 30 years to his dearest Angie, whom he loved so very much. Being the
father of 4 he loved his children and bragged and boasted about Tammy, Stacey, Ronnie Keilty Jnr and
Ronnie Dodd. He knew alot and was a very proud, strong and independant man. Being a brother to
Lydia, Sue, Marion, Jackie, Betty, Rita, Sammy and May made him so proud and it can surely be said
that he was truely loved by them all!

He was a extremly proud granfather/great grandfather, and also a fantastic uncle and an outstanding
friend and companion to all those around him!

Later in life Ronnie became ill ... Ronnie being Ronnie put his illness down to a kidney complaint
totally unaware of what life had instore for him.

on the 14th August 2009 Angie persuaded Ronnie to admit himself into hospital, follwing numerous
tests within 48 hours Ronnies Kidenys failed and he had to be put onto a ventilator, a gruelling 17
hours in intensive care with all his strength, determination and fight he had left in him he
struggled on, but was too tired to carry on the fight for life! little did Brave Ronnie know, he
wasnt fighting a kidney infection, he was fighting a large pancreatic cancerous tumour which had
taken over his body and caused the pain and ill suffering he had been going through for the last few
months. Ronnie was so brave and strong that the only medication he had was his trusted "Anadin
Extra" !!!!

Ronnie passed away suddenly but peacefully with all of his family round his bedside......

Loved and never forgotten now up in heaven with his Mam, and 2 sisters Marion and Sue.... until we
meet again R.I.P x x x x x

For my Brother Ronnie xx

God looked around his garden Ronnie
And He found an empty place.
He then looked down from heaven
And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you Ron
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.

He knew that you were suffering
He knew you were in pain
He knew that you would never ever
Get well on earth again

He saw that the road was getting rough,
And the hills are hard to climb.
So He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered "Peace be thine."

It broke our hearts to lose you Ronnie
But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

You fought so hard to stay with us
We never said Goodbye,
But now your free from all the pain
Godbye wor Ron Goodbye xxx

Love from your sister Lyd xxx
