Ronald Harrington, age 92, of Dublin, Georgia, passed away on April 10, 2026, in Dublin, Georgia.

Born on September 27, 1933, in Dublin, Georgia, Ronald lived a long and meaningful life marked by devotion to his family, service to his country, hard work, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys that made life rich. He was the son of the late Ernest Harrington and Willie Belle Rawlins Harrington. He was also preceded in death by his beloved wife, Martha Jones Harrington, whose memory remained close to his heart throughout his life.

Ronald was a graduate of Cedar Grove High School and proudly served his country as a communications officer with the United States Marine Corps under Lt. General Chesty Puller. His sense of duty, discipline, and quiet strength were evident in all that he did. He retired from the Carl Vinson Veterans Administration as Chief of Office Operations. He was also a member of Jefferson Street Baptist Church.

A hardworking and respected member of his community, Ronald was the retired co-owner of Cedar Grove Market and a co-founder of AmiTy Propane. Through his work and business partnerships, he built lasting relationships and earned the respect of those who knew him. He approached his responsibilities with integrity and dedication, and he took pride in providing for his family and contributing to the community he called home.

Ronald was a devoted father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by his daughter, Ronda Hampton and her husband Butch, and his son, Ron Harrington and his wife Sonya. He also leaves behind his grandchildren, April Hampton and Tony DeAnda, Jennifer Castorri and Christian, Ami Mack and Reggie, and Ty Harrington. His legacy continues through his great-grandchildren, Emma Castorri, Summer Castorri, Crew Castorri, Rad Castorri, Fox Castorri, and Eden Mack and his faithful companion and best friend, Bella. He cherished his family deeply and took great joy in their lives and accomplishments.

Those who knew Ronald will remember him as a kind and steady man with a warm presence and a strong sense of loyalty. He was an avid dirt track racing fan and enjoyed listening to music, pastimes that brought him happiness and reflected his appreciation for life's enduring pleasures. Whether spending time with family, following the races, or enjoying a favorite song, he found contentment in the moments that mattered most.
