Ronnie was preceded in death by his sister, Diane Fletcher; grandmother, Helen Fletcher; grandfather, Robert Fletcher; wife, Donna Owens Fletcher; stepmother, Cleora Fletcher and daughter, Brandy Wells.

A once member of John Handley High School in Winchester, Virginia, Ronnie was known for his resilience and selflessness, always ensuring that those around him were cared for and happy. His presence was a comforting constant in the lives of many, and his legacy as a problem solver and a man of his word will forever be cherished.

Memorial services for Ronnie will be announced at a later date. His final resting place will be with his wife Donna at Chestnut Grove cemetery in Winchester, Virginia in the early fall sometime. His memory will continue to inspire all who knew him, as he was truly the biggest angel in the room, even if he didn't think so, everyone around him knew it was true.
