Sorry for your loss praying for you and your family
I have nothing but praise for this young man. As a high school student, he was loved by everybody, and he was always smiling, laughing, and showing love. He was one of the best and toughest football players I ever coached. Heaven gained a beautiful person. I'm blessed to have known him, and I'm even more blessed that God's grace has provided eternal life where we will meet again some day. Coach A/ Mickey Atkinson
Big Cousin you will be truly missed along with your smile, laugh, and bigger than life personality.
I love you, Keke

Sorry to hear about the passing of cousin Ronnie. I praying with the family🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💖
Shameka and family, We were saddened to hear the news about Ronnie. I remember the many times he always had a smile and something funny to share; he goad me about playing a game that he was determined I would lose at because he would win!!! Then he'd follow it up with a serious statement of how we were family. He loved you and all of his children so very much. We stand with you to help keep his memory warm, loving, and alive in our hearts. Praying for you all. Love Katie, Debra, and Mama Blanche! ❤️🙏🏽😇
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
