Ronald “Ronnie” Breedlove, age 77 of Union Hall and formerly of McLeansville, NC, went to be with the Lord Tuesday, November 18, 2025. 

Ronnie was born in North Carolina on April 15, 1948 to the late LB “Junior” and Aleen Breedlove. He worked for his father at Breedlove Radiator for over 20 years before taking on jobs at Universal Auto Radiator and Rocore where he traveled the states as a Senior Sales Engineer. He was also a long-time member of the Lions Club where he served as secretary. After moving to Smith Mountain Lake with his wife Connie, the two became members at Rocky Mount United Methodist Church. Ronnie enjoyed his time on the lake boating and loved working with his tractor and mowing the grass. He was an avid racing fan, especially when it involved cheering for his son Chris when he raced.

Surviving is his loving wife of 54 years Connie Breedlove; his son and daughter-in-law Chris and Logan Breedlove; grandchildren Maelyn and Weston Breedlove; and his brother and sister-in-law Tim and Cheryl Breedlove.

The Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 22, 2025 at Rocky Mount United Methodist Church. (35 N Main Street Rocky Mount, VA) Pastor Will Waller will officiate the service with a visitation and reception to follow.
