Ron Roberts: A life deeply lived, and generously given to Ararat

RON Roberts was the sort of man whose influence spread quietly but permanently through our community. Teacher. Principal. Volunteer. Justice of the Peace. Celebrant. Tour guide. Committee chair. Mentor. Storyteller. And, above all else, a devoted family man whose sense of duty to Ararat was matched only by his love for his wife Pauline and their family. Ron passed away on January 3, 2026, aged 83, after a long battle with prostate cancer and a short final illness, surrounded by those he loved. It marked the end of a life that was not simply long, but deeply, deliberately and generously lived.
