Ronald Dee Hurt

Ronald “Ronnie” Dee Hurt, 62, of Tavares, passed away unexpectedly on December 17, 2025. Ronnie was born and raised in Central Florida, spending most of his life in Apopka. He graduated from Apopka High School in 1982 and remained a Blue Darter fan throughout his life. Ronnie had a love for going to the movies, taking pictures, and being with family and friends. In his younger years, you could find him at the mud pits, mud bogging in his Dodge Ram.

Ronnie was known for his acts of giving. Even if it meant he went without, he was always extending a helping hand.

Ronnie worked at Imperial Builders & Supply for over 20 years and finished his career as a warehouse manager at RLH Construction.

He is survived by his daughters, Robin Lyttle, Carolyn Lyttle, and Shelia Lyttle, grandson Levi Haley, brothers Donald Hurt and Joe Hurt, sisters Barbara Diceglie and Vannessa Graham, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Mary Laura Pruitt and Joseph Hurt, Sr., and sister, Deborah Parham.
