December 26, 1961 – November 14, 2023

The family is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Ronald Mark Bergman, aged 61, on November 14, 2023.

Ronald was born in Winnipeg and lived there all his life. He attained a journeyman plumber ticket in 1988, and together with his father Marvin, formed R & M Plumbing and Heating Ltd., that grew into a successful and highly regarded business in Winnipeg. Ron’s brother John was added to the team in 1988. The three worked together until Marvin’s passing in 1998. Since then, Ron has continued to operate the company with numerous employees along the way.

He was an avid golfer at the golf clubs where he was a member. He enjoyed travelling and was an accomplished deep-sea diver.  Both golfing and diving were his passions until he was no longer able to continue, due to his health.  He also spent time working in his yard and enjoyed vegetable gardening.

He is survived by his sister Janet (Rob) Shaffer, and brothers Bruce (Barb) Bergman, and John Bergman. Also surviving are nieces Michelle (Jon Cartwright) Reid, Lindsay (Wes) Green, Agnes Bergman, Robyn Bergman, and Mya Gudz-Bergman along with great nephews Lincoln Reid and Cooper Cartwright. Ron also leaves numerous cousins and other extended family. Ronald was predeceased by his parents Agnes and Marvin Bergman, grandparents Runny (Dolly) and John Bergman, Christina and Hugh Cairns, along with numerous aunts and uncles.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday, December 8, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. at Wojcik’s Funeral Chapel, 1020 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba. Internment will follow at Glen Eden Cemetery where Ron will be laid to rest, beside his parents.
