Ronald Morin

FAIRFIELD – It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the passing of our brother, Ronald Morin, on Sunday, May 4, 2024. Ronald, and his twin brother Donald, were born Oct. 6, 1965, in Jackman, Maine. Ron grew up in a large family with seven brothers and five sisters. He excelled in academics and athletics while attending Forest Hills High School, graduating in 1983.

Ron enlisted in the U.S. Navy in October 1983 and trained as a Medical Field Service Technician. In 1986-1987, he deployed on an extended 18-month Mediterranean cruise aboard the aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy as a corpsman assigned to Marine Attack Squadron VMF (AW) 533. Ron attained the rank of Petty Office First Class and separated from the Navy in January 1991.

Throughout his time in the Navy, Ron worked towards earning a college degree. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from Old Dominion University (ODU) in 1992 with a B.A. in Environmental Health Sciences. While attending ODU, Ron met Anna Ghorashian. Ron and Anna were briefly married in 1994 before dissolving their marriage. Ron accepted a position with the Department of the Navy as an Environmental Hygienist working for the Navy Inspector General. He remained in that position until medically retired in 1998.

Ronald returned to Maine to be with family; living with his mother in Fairfield and with brothers in Waterville, Winslow, and Bangor. He loved spending time with his large family and visiting friends he met in the Navy.

Ronald was predeceased by his parents, Marc Andre and Francoise Morin of Jackman; and brothers Hubert of Limerick and Pierre of Willimantic, Conn.

He is survived by sisters Danielle Hale of Jackman, Louise Morin-Smith of Bangor, Jacqueline (DeLallo) Morin of Bethel, Christina Stone of Scarboro, and Monique Swartz of Bangor and brothers Maxime of Jackman, Francis of Hermon, Jacques of Bangor, his twin Donald of Bangor, and Antoine of Benton; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

A memorial service is planned for June 15 at 12:00 in Jackman at Saint Anthony’s Cemetery with a reception to follow at the American Legion Hall.
