The seasonal earthly journey for Ronnie White began on August 2, 1958, in Newton County, Georgia. 

He was born to the late Mr. and Mrs. W.C. (Louise) White. He attended Newton County Schools and was a graduate of Newton County Comprehensive High School. He was joined in holy matrimony for 39 years to the love of his life, Mrs. Rhonda White. 

He joined the Pleasant View Baptist Church at an early age. 

His daughter, Ms. Shannikia White, and his parents preceded him in death.

Ronnie was a quiet and loving person. He was devoted to his family and friends. He was an avid sports fan who loved the Atlanta Falcons and college football. He served many years as a Little League football coach. An excellent day for him consisted of being surrounded by his grandchildren. He loved giving advice on anything from how to cook a full course meal to how to fix a car. Not a person to sit idly by, he was employed with Dekalb County Parks and Recreation for 32 years. 

The seasonal earthly journey for Ronnie peacefully came to completion on December 26, 2022. We can only imagine the joy he experienced seeing the face of our Lord and receiving the ultimate healing in his body.
