November 28, 1952 – November 30, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ruggles on November 30, with his beloved wife Betty by his side.
Ruggles grew up and spent most of his life in Belair, where he developed a deep love for the outdoors. He cherished hunting, fishing, and camping trips with family and friends. His passion for fixing and building in his shop was evident to all who knew him. From his first job in surveying, Ruggles took immense pride in doing a good job in everything he undertook.
He is survived by his devoted wife Betty, her siblings and their families, his children Kim (Ivan), Jay (Tracey), Jenny, and Tim (Charlene); his grandchildren Tyler (Ania), Ashley (Stefan), Austin, Emily (Dylan), Anne, and Luke; his brothers Bob (Carol) and family, Lorne and family; his sister Dorothy and family; and his sister-in-law Margaret and family.
Ruggles was predeceased by his parents Edward and Muriel, his brother Wayne, his sister-in-law Erin, and many others who were close to him.
Ruggles shared many great times with his special friends Gary, Rick, Jim, and Ronnie.
A celebration of Ruggles’ life will be held at a later date.
