June 23, 1943 – November 2, 2024
Ronnie Eugene Parsons, 81, of Sheridan, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, November 2, 2024, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on June 23, 1943, to Dallas and Beulah (Ewing) Parsons in Pennington Gap, Va.
Ron was a 1962 graduate of Saint Charles High School in Saint Charles, Va. He served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War as a paratrooper and arsenal specialist. Ron was a dedicated UAW member of Ford Motor Company for 31 years as a machine operator. He was a devoted member of New Light Christian Center of Noblesville under Pastor Mike Risden.
Ron loved to spend time with his family and friends. His hobbies were golfing, fishing, watching NASCAR races and watching football and baseball.
