Ronnie Compton Obituary
Ron was born in Indianapolis, IN and raised in East Tennessee by his loving grandmother, Louise Compton, his father, Ronnie Sr. and his mother, Linda. He was the oldest of his 4 siblings: Tonya, Timothy, Michael and Melissa.
Ron worked as a Journeyman Pipefitter during his 45 year membership with the Local 669 UA.
If you didn't find him by his radio listening to a NASCAR race, he was probably exploring nature, fishing or working on his Ford F100.
Ron was married to Cheryl for 38 years.
He is survived by his sons Timothy, Ronnie (wife Bri) and Andy (wife Jaime).
He will be missed dearly.

4 weeks and 1 day you've been gone. I've never gone this long in 40 years without talking to you. To say I miss you would be an understatement. Life will never be the same without you in it. Through everything we remained best friends. I miss you, my teammate, my love. Forever, Cheryl

My dear Ron, I miss you more than words can describe. Our love is a rare, once in a lifetime, forever love that even death can't touch. Thank you for 40 amazing years and memories. Your sons love and miss you dearly. I will forever be grateful for the time we had together and I will never forget everything we shared. Hug the dads for me. You rest now, babe. Forever, Cheryl
