Ronnie attended Itawamba AHS. Following school, Ronnie initially worked for Pennsylvania Tire, Tupelo and Creative Glass, Tupelo. He then did heavy construction work on the Tenn-Tom Waterway.

A very kind, thoughtful, and compassionate person, Ronnie was a true gentleman. Ronnie accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior and grew up Baptist. He met a sweet lady Brenda in the shop located at his home. As their relationship kindled and grew, they fell in love and were married on January 31, 1997. They were blessed by God with four children. Ronnie dearly loved their close family bond and cherished being together with them.
One who loved being outdoors, he enjoyed hunting and fishing as well as raising chickens. Ronnie was a former member of Nettleton Hunting Club for 12 years and was also a former member of Bigbee-Black Cat Club. As a family, they enjoyed all of the trips camping, canoeing, traveling and riding 4-wheelers. Through all these activities, they treasure all their wonderful memories.
