Ronald Eugene "Ronnie" Minard, 84, of Mansfield, Ohio, passed away peacefully on September 14, 2025.

Born on January 11, 1941, Ronnie lived a life filled with deep love for his family, strong faith, and quiet strength. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend whose kindness and warmth touched everyone who knew him. He supported the community, enjoyed supporting Madison High School sporting events, was a member of the First Christian Church where he served as a greeter, was an avid Ohio sports team fan, and a lifelong member of the Lions Club.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Roberta Jean "Bobbie" Minard; his parents Walter and Mary Minard; and his parents-in-law, Charles and Elizabeth Wright. Their memories live on in the stories and hearts of those who loved them.

He is survived by his loving children: Keith and Michelle Minard, Kelley and Randy Renz, and Kerry and Chris Montgomery. He was a proud grandfather to Aaron and Annie Renz, Amberly Renz, Bailey and Jonathan Copenhaver, Amanda and Michael Goss, and Brett and Kristi Minard. His legacy continues through his cherished great-grandchildren: Kendyll Renz, Alex Renz, Jackson Renz, Caden Goss, and Olivia Goss. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law Larry and Jan Minard, his sister Linda Jenkins, and his sister-in-law, Becky Stokes.

A celebration of Ronnie's life will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at First Christian Church, 200 W. 3rd Street, Mansfield, OH 44903. All who knew and loved Ronnie are welcome to attend and honor his memory. We would ask those attending to stay after the celebration of life to enjoy a meal with family and friends.
