He married the love of his life, Pam Howell at the early age of 23 and they quickly started their family of 5. Those of you, who knew Ronny, know he was full of life. There was not a man more loving, honest, trusting, hard working and giving. If you met him, you wanted to be his friend. He never spoke unkind words about anyone.Ronny’s hobbies included raising cattle, collecting guns, fishing, music and casinos. He was a lucky man when it came to gambling! His love for the land led him to his work as a custom farmer for 43 years. During this time he employed many young boys in town, impacting their lives in a great way. This was his calling. He loved each one, although every one of them wondered at one time or another if they would survive the day. Ronny was a quiet, private man at heart. He never liked an audience. His wife, children, and grandchildren were his first concern. In addition to his parents, Ronny was preceded in death by his son, Brad. Ronny is survived by his beloved wife, Pam of 43 years; daughter Jenifer Carlisle, husband Clint and daughter Lindsay Clark, husband Jared. Four grandchildren; Grayson, Tucker and Campton Carlisle and McKenzie Clark. And 3 sisters, Linda Grimes, Sandra Ault and Shirley Fletcher. Numerous nieces and nephews.
