It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden and devastating loss of Kyle Peter Alexander Ronayne, on April 21, 2023, aged 29 years.
Kyle was the beloved only son of Deborah Craig (David), and Paul Ronayne, and a deeply-loved brother to his three sisters, Robyn Ronayne (Alfred Sanford), Erin Lewis (Trevor), and Kathryn Simone (Michael), and step-sister Laura Kroeker (Luke). He was the proud Uncle Kyle to eight nieces and nephews: Felicity, Elliot, Judah, Kate, Nora, Caleb, Theodore, and Lydia. He will be greatly missed by his aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and friends, and anyone else who had the privilege to know him.
Gone before him are his loving grandparents Edward and Marie Ronayne, his aunt Claire Walsh, his great-uncle Joseph Holden, grandparents Grace Skanes-Green, Gordon Skanes, and step-grandfather Frank Green, great uncle Gerald and Maude Skanes, as well as cousin Gerald Skanes, and step-grandparents Francis and Margaret Craig.
Kyle was a hard-working student of the Business Management program at College of the North Atlantic who aspired to someday own his own business. He had a passion for everything cars; he could often be found tinkering with his prized Acura, and he always welcomed the chance to get his hands dirty. He loved animals and was inseparable from his cats, Tiger and O.G.
Kyle will live on in our hearts. He greatly loved his family, and his family greatly loved him. He will be fondly remembered for his countless acts of kindness, his sharp wit and humor, and his unwavering selflessness. His presence will be greatly missed at birthdays, Christmasses, summer barbecues, family dinners, and all the ordinary moments in between. He was a larger-than-life, humble, gentle, and kind soul with a heart of gold, who set an example of how to treat others to which we can only hope to live.
Visitation will take place at Carnell’s Funeral Home, 329 Freshwater Road, on Wednesday, April 26th, 2023, from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. The funeral will be held Thursday, April 27th, 2023, at 2 p.m. at St. Teresa’s Parish, 120 Mundy Pond Road.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Stella’s Circle (https://stellascircle.ca/) and The Gathering Place (https://kindnesswanted.ca/).
A parent holds their child’s hand for a short time,
but holds their heart forever.

To the family,
You don’t know me but my oldest son, John, used to hang out with Kyle at PWC. They used to drive around in his Acura during lunch time. My son really liked Kyle, he said he was a good friend and a really nice guy. I lost my youngest son, Noah, a month ago. I know exactly what you are going through, I am still devastated and miss him so much.. The pain is unimaginable. Just cherish the wonderful memories you had with Kyle.
Sending love and hugs to the whole family.

I am so sorry to hear of Kyle’s passing. I remember during our high school adventures Kyle’s presence., He was not more than 3 or 4 at the time with his white blond hair and bundles of energy.
Sending condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. I hope that you hold Kyles memory close for many years to come.
Deborah and family,

Dearest Sweet Deborah, Paul and Family, Heartbroken, does not seem to truly capture all the emotions and sadness that embraced Liam and I when we heard. of Kyle’s passing. Please know you are in our hearts- sending strength and huge hugs during what I can only imagine to be the most difficult point ever in your lives and help you through it. Kyle and Liam and all the boys from Kindergarten up through the grades shared so many memories and laughter and love always, they were all such great friends, it just makes me smile thinking of those days. We are all better people for having met and had Kyle as part of our lives. I wish we could be there but know we are in spirit.dear friends. Love, Lori, Liam, Zac and Spenser ( Delaney)
Dear Deborah and family.; our deepest condolences on the passing of Kyle. May God travel with you during this most sorrowful time.
Oh my beautiful friend Deborah, I cannot even begin to fathom the depths of your heartbreak and despair on the loss of your precious boy. This is a pain that as mothers, we pray never to experience, but our plan is not God’s plan, so we trust that in all things, his will is done. We live in the hope of that grand reunion.
My condolences to you, Paul, your girls and the whole family as you navigate this trying time together.
I sorely wish I could be there to hug you.
To Deborah and the Ronayne Family,
We were so saddened to hear of Kyle’s passing. We had many good times with him when he was at the house and cabin with Lucas. He had such a pleasant personality and was always smiling. He was a great respectful young man and it was a pleasure to be in his company. May God give you strength to get through this difficult time. Thinking of you all. RIP Kyle

Dearest Deborah and families, I cannot find the words to convey the sadness that I feel for you at this moment; nor can I come close to imagining your devastation. I know that this will be little consolation, (and I hope not inappropriate), but this is a Winnie the Pooh quote written by A.A. Milne::
“If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever.”
God bless, dear friend.
I am absolutely heart broken to hear the sad, sad news about Kyle. I was lucky enough to cross paths with Kyle and feel his love. He was so selfless, silly, hilarious, gentle, caring, and kind. I have many fond memories of our time together that I will always keep close to my heart.
I know there are so many grieving hearts in St. John’s, and the world is a darker place without him in it. His smile, laugh, and countless acts of kindness will live on in the hearts of all those who were lucky enough to have known him. He was an angel on earth and now he’s an angel in heaven. How Kyle treated others is an example to live by. I know that Kyle loved his family more than anything, hold on to that love as he continues to guide and watch over you from above.
All my love and prayers to you all, as you navigate your way through this truly impossible time.
To Robyn and your entire family. I’m so very sorry to hear of Kyle’s passing. I remember him and Katherine being just little kids when we worked at Tim’s together. He was a sweet boy. My condolences during this difficult time, you’ll be in my thoughts and prayers. Take care xo
Debra David and all family. I am so sorry for your loss! There are no words that can help with your grief. My prayers are with you! Bob
I met Kyle doing the refrigeration program at CNA in 2019. He was such a nice guy and great person to be around.
I meant to reach out to him over the past few weeks to see how he was doing and was shocked to see the news.
I wish his family and loved one’s all the best during this time because Kyle was a special guy and loved by all.
