LEWISTON – Ronald G. Morin, 55, of Lewiston, tragically passed away on Oct. 25, 2023.
Ronald, “Ron”, was born on May 23, 1968, in Lewiston, the son of Anita Hamann Gosselin and the late Richard Morin. He was raised by Anita and her husband Daniel Gosselin and was one of eight siblings.
Ron graduated from Lewiston High School in 1986. He has been employed by Coca Cola since 1989. He was one of the most dedicated and hardworking employees who prided himself in never missing a day of work. He valued his relationships with every person he met at all his accounts throughout his career.
He married the love of his life, Lynn Morin, in May of 1990. They soon after had two wonderful children together, Amy and Eric. His wife, children and dog Remy were his entire world. Ron was a devoted husband and father who was always available to provide unwavering support and he could not be more proud of them and all of their accomplishments. Amy and Eric currently live with their spouses in Charleston, S.C., and he was anxiously awaiting retirement to relocate to be closer to his children.
Those who knew Ron would acknowledge his keen sense of humor and ability to make everyone feel loved and seen. He had a passion for making others laugh. When he wasn’t working or spending time with family, he loved being active in the Lewiston/Auburn community. He was an avid ice and floor hockey, softball, and cornhole player. He loved to engage in local workout classes, and umpire softball. Through these activities he has made countless lifelong friends.
Ron was predeceased by his father Richard Morin and his sweet dog, Abbey who was his pride and joy.
He is survived by his wife, Lynn Morin, of 33 years; his daughter Amy (Morin) Puciaty and her husband Nick; son Eric Morin and his wife Allyson; siblings Marcel Morin and his wife Peyton, Paul Morin and his wife Lisa, Bob Morin and his wife Jill, Dan Morin and his wife Laura, Steve Gosselin and his wife Michelle, Tanya Morissette and her husband Lucien, and Lynda Purrington; in-laws Rene and Lucia Morissette and their children, Terry Morissette, Moe Morissette and his wife Stacey, Muriel Gosselin and her husband Scott, Eddie Morissette, Jeannine Silberman and her husband Adam, Jeannette Morissette and partner Matt, Lee Morissette and his wife Ashley; and numerous beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.
