Ronald Donalson

Mr. Ronald “Ron” Donalson, age 60, was born November 23, 1964, in Early County, Georgia, to the late Reverend Ezzie Donalson Jr. and Aretha Virgin-Donalson. On July 21, 2025, Ronald departed his earthly life and entered into eternal rest after battling a short acute illness at Southeast Health in Dothan, Alabama.

During his early years of life, he accepted CHRIST as his LORD And SAVIOR.

Ronald attended and graduated from Early County High School in 1982. In 1986, 1987, and 1989, he welcomed his three precious children. In 1998, Ronald married the love of his life, Beverly Dianne Anderson-Donalson. They were united until Beverly’s death in 2015. During their union, Ronald became a loyal and devoted Jehovah’s Witness.

Ronald’s extraordinary kindness and generosity left an enduring impact upon everyone whom he met, spreading joy and warmth wherever he went. With a heart full of love and compassion, he tirelessly gave back to his community, inspiring others to follow in his footsteps. His remarkable spirit of selflessness continues to uplift and motivate all who knew him.

He pursued an industrial career ending with his twenty-four years of dedicated workmanship at LMC, Inc. of Donalsonville, Georgia, until death.

In addition to his wife and parents, Ronald was preceded in death by his granddaughter Kailey Rei Donalson and his brothers Gregory Pitts and Earnie Donalson.

Ronald leaves an abundance of memories with his three children: Akeem Smith (Renesia), Janneeka Donalson-Shepard (Raphael), and Quetin Donalson (Quinesha), sister, Tora “Regina” Copeland; brother, Ezzie Timothy Donalson III (Arrica); stepchildren, Antonio Anderson and Darius Burr; grandchildren: Kabrelle, Kaiden, Rhianna, Kaylen, Ja’Norria, Amari, Zailen, Jaiden, Haley, Gabrielle, Grace, Akyrin, Averi, and Zyra; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, close friends, and his work-family.
