Ronnie Wilson
September 21, 1984 — May 9, 2026

Ronnie Antonio Wilson, lovingly known as "Tony," was a light, a protector, a fighter, and a deeply loved soul whose presence left a lasting impact on everyone blessed enough to know him. Tony transitioned surrounded by love after courageously fighting until the very end, showing the same strength and resilience that defined his life.

Tony was truly a people person. He never met a stranger, and his energy could light up any room he walked into. His smile, his laughter, and his personality made people naturally gravitate toward him. No matter what he endured throughout his life, Tony continued to push forward with strength, determination, and heart. He faced many battles during his time on earth, but nothing could stop him from continuing to fight.

Above all, Tony loved his family deeply. His greatest joy in life was his children, Rontarius Wilson and Detonio Wilson. He loved being their father, and anyone who knew Tony knew how much pride he had when speaking about his boys. Their names alone could bring the biggest smile to his face.

Tony also shared a special bond with his children's mother. Jessica Mitchell. Whenever he spoke about Jessica, Rontarius, and Detonio, his entire face would light up with happiness and love. They were a huge part of his heart and brought him comfort, purpose, and joy.

To many, Tony was a son, brother, uncle, cousin, and loyal friend. He was someone people leaned on, someone who loved deeply, and someone whose presence could never be replaced. His strength inspired countless people, and his journey reminded everyone around him of the power of love, family, and perseverance.
