Ronald C. Bell Jr., 50, residing in Sandusky, passed away Sunday evening, June 8, 2025 at his residence after a lengthy illness.
Ronnie was born on April 23, 1975 in Trenton, NJ to Ronald C. Bell Sr. and the late Laurel Michelle (Rogers) Bell.
Ronnie graduated from Manchester Township High School in Manchester, NJ, and had recently completed HVAC courses at Terra State Community College in Fremont, OH. A proud U.S. Army Veteran, he served with the 10th Mountain Division during Operation Uphold Democracy in Haiti. Throughout his career, Ronnie worked as a slot attendant at Bally's Casino in Atlantic City and later in the maintenance department at KBI. He was an active member of American Legion Post 83 and Sandusky Amvets Post 29. In his free time, Ronnie enjoyed cheering on Cleveland sports teams, catching a good movie, soaking up the sunshine outdoors, and caring for his beloved bulldogs. Above all, he cherished the moments spent with his family and friends.
In addition to his father, Ronnie is survived by his two sisters, Amy Bell of Cincinnati, OH; Heather (Adam) Stenger of Sandusky, OH; one niece, Emma; four nephews, Caden, Aaron, Colton and Connor; and his long-time childhood friend and "brother," Scott Benze of Absecon, NJ.
In addition to his mother, Ronnie is preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents.
Private family services will be held at a later date. Groff Funeral Homes & Crematory is assisting the family with arrangements.
