Ronnie Stevens, 79, died Thursday, January 15, 2026.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 31, 2026, 12:30 pm, at the Brass Taproom.

Ronnie enjoyed fishing, relaxing with his dogs, and spoiling his grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Ronnie is preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Harlan and Iona Vivian Stevens; siblings Jerry Pesch, William Pesch and Jerry Newberry; and step-son, Dawayne Smith. He is survived by siblings: Carol Brown, Donna Granger, Linda King and Rick Pesch; his daughter Saundra (Michael) Jones; daughter-in-law Nancy Smith; granddaughters: Ashley Craig, Katherine (Justin) Fox, Cristina Smith, Alyssa (Joe) Coleman; grandsons: Aaron Jones and Michael (Jessica) Smith; great-grandchildren: Wyatt, Mackenzie, Dennis, Gabriel, Mason, Sebastian, Tavin, Noelle, and Nico; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Ronnie lived life unapologetically and on his own terms. He would constantly say that blood doesn’t always make a family and lived those words by welcoming others into his home and heart with open arms. He will be greatly missed.
