Ronnie was one of the sweetest people I've ever met. He could light up a room, just by walking into it. He will be sorely missed. Whether you were in a crowd or alone, he made you feel loved

My best friend now and forever! My life will forever have that void that noone will ever fill. I know you are in heaven making everyone smile as you always did here on Earth. There will never be anyone like you. You left a lasting impression on everyone you came across. I will honor your memory by striving to live my life the way you lived yours with love, kindness, unselfishness, generosity and respect for others. I love you Ronnie and will never forget all the memories we made together. Who Knew.
Always and forever-your little flower

We are so sorry for your loss. Ronnie was such a polite and kind young man with a warm smile. No matter where or when we saw him, he always talked about great memories of playing basketball at Woodfin. God bless all of you.Chip and Kim Plemmons
