Ronnie Lee Rowland, passed away on June 25, 2026, at Emory Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, at the age of 57.

Ronnie was born on June 16, 1969, in Dublin, Georgia. He was the son of the late J.W. Rowland and Carol Jones Rowland. He was also a beloved brother to Sherrie Crooms and her husband Terry of Dudley, Georgia and his brother Mark Rowland and his wife Melessia of Dalton, Georgia. Ronnie was a proud uncle to Melanie, Megan, Mac, Micah, Bo, and he was blessed with several great-nieces and great-nephews who brought joy to his life.

Ronnie graduated from West Laurens High School with the Class of 1987, and he carried the values of hard work, loyalty, and perseverance throughout his life. He was a certified ginner and also held a small engine certification, both of which reflected his practical skills and his natural ability to understand how things worked. Ronnie spent many years serving others through his work, including a long career with Dexter Supply Company from 1994 to 2021. In recent years, he was employed with Dublin Outdoor Power Sports, where he continued doing the kind of work he knew well and took pride in every day.

Ronnie had a gift for tinkering with small engine repair, and he enjoyed the satisfaction that came from taking something broken and making it run again. He was the kind of man who could see value in a machine that others might overlook, and that same steady patience was evident in the way he lived his life. He was dependable, hardworking, and known for his quiet strength and willingness to help when needed.

He was a member of Little Bethel Freewill Baptist Church, where he served as a song leader. His church family knew him as a faithful presence and a man who used his voice to lift others in worship.

A funeral service celebrating Ronnie's life will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Monday, June 29, 2026, at Little Bethel Freewill Baptist Church with Rev. Russell Horne officiating. Burial will follow at the church cemetery. The family will receive friends from 10:00 until the service hour at the church.

Pallbearers will be Jeffrey Hobbs, Ricky Hobbs, David Wyatt, Mac Rowland, Brian Wyatt, and Billy Francis.
