Ronald DeWayne Ringer "Beanie" entered this world on October 14, 1964, and departed unexpectedly on March 16, 2025. Ronald graduated from Kirkman Technical High School in 1982. After graduating from high school, he attended Chattanooga State where he received his certification in welding. Ronald worked as a welder in numerous states for 10 years.
Ronald was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents Harvey and Martha Ringer, uncle Norris Ringer of Chattanooga, and aunt Annette Ringer Lusk of Los Angeles, CA. Cousins, Danny Ringer, Jr., Jeanine Ringer, and Naomi Harrington of Chattanooga.
He leaves behind his mother, Cobie Patmon (Johnny), and two sisters Felicia Milner and Josette Gaines (David). Three nieces Daeja Milner, Janika, and Storm Gaines. One nephew Darius Milner. One great-niece Au'Bree King all of Chattanooga. Three uncles, Danny, Jerral, and Kerry Ringer of Chattanooga. One aunt Paulette Harrington, of Nashville. He also leaves a host of cousins. He leaves behind a significant other, Lakita Isom.
Ronald spent the rest of his life doing lawn care and home repairs. Throughout the years, he continued to hone in on his craft, which he enjoyed. He was always willing to lend a helping hand whenever he was needed, by family or neighbors. You could always call on him and he would come ready and willing to help. When he was around his nieces and nephew, he would always give them life advice. He was very interested in what they were doing in their lives and wanted to see them excel.
Ronald loved his family and was always ready to help them with whatever they needed. He was a fierce protector of his mom and sisters. There was nothing he wouldn't do for them. Whenever he was with his sisters, there would bound to be laughter going on. We would reminisce about funny things that we did in our childhood and break out into laughter. He always greeted us with a hug and left us with the words "I love you."
Ronald will be missed dearly by all who loved him!
