Ronnie was an avid fan of football, baseball, basketball, and fishing. He was a protector of his children, grandchildren, sisters, brothers, and friends. He was full of life, laughter, and fun, and whenever Ronnie was around, it was always a good time. He enjoyed cooking, barbecuing, and entertaining his family and friends, …and he will be greatly missed.
He leaves to mourn his passing his four children, DéShanna, Ronnie Jr., Ronisha, and Ashley; his cherished grandchildren, Leiha, Joshaun, SáBreya, Zyire, Khaza, Roniaha, Charisse, Izaiah, and Trinitty; his four sisters and a brother, Carol, Patricia, Peggy (Jose) Torres, Karen, Melanie, and John W. Jr.; and the memory of his siblings who preceded him: Donald, Tony, Carrie, and Patrick. He also leaves many nieces and nephews, especially niece Nerissa; cousins; and a host of friends especially, Kenny Patterson, Ben Heath, Calvin Lange, and Anthony LoConte. Ronnie also had a "left right hook" relationship with his canine Kodak.
He was predeceased by his maternal grandparents, Rev. Matthew and Mary (Butts) Blackshear; paternal grandparents, Lula Mae (William) Tillery and Josh Pierce; and a favorite cousin, Porter.
