“RONALD W. WILKINS”

Congratulations to the Wilkins Family

*A Wonderful Man that lived his life to the fullest but was taken from us far too soon.

Ronald W. Wilkins was born September 25th, 1953 in the small town known as Sussex, New Brunswick. Ronnie, as most of us knew him, was raised on his family’s farm on the Cumberland Road.  Ronnie was the only son born to Laura(Anderson) and the late Harry Wilkins.  He had three sisters- Shirley,(McLeod), Enid (Adair) and Ruth (Parker).  Ronnie was married to Brenda Shamper on March 23, 1991.  He died on October 18th, 1995 at the age of 42. Ronnie  continued on till the very end- breaking, training and breeding –loving all types of horses- but his passion was for the Appaloosa breed and his prize Appaloosa Stallion “Snow Cloud’s Domino”. Ronnie was 100% cowboy, a prankster, however a serious showman, he related better sometimes with his horses then even people(which he charmed).  His passions included the finer things in life- Women, horses,(especially the spotted ones) and antique cars.  Fun- loving, good hearted, and sadly missed – “A FRIEND TO ALL”  - HIS LEGACY LIVES ON………..
