Ronnie Ray Parker was born on February 10th, 1952, in Kennett, MO and passed away on Tuesday July 22nd, 2025, in Ash Grove, Mo.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents, Donal and Wilma Parker; and son, Ronny Lee Parker.

Ronnie is survived by his long-time love and wife, Patricia; daughters, Tina Walker (Mike), Michele Parker and April Hitchcock (Mark). He was incredibly proud of his eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Ronnie married Patricia (Burch) on June 24th, 1971. He was a long-time farmer, from working in the cattle fields to managing three turkey units. Ronnie was a jack of all trades from woodwork, painting, drywall and tinkering around with small engines. He loved to mow his yard and did so weekly, until his health started failing. Ronnie was a soft-spoken gentleman and was loved by many. He was the best husband, daddy and Papa and will be greatly missed.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date for immediate family.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Midwest Cremation and Funeral Services of Springfield, MO.
