Ronald Allen Deese October 18, 1970- June 30,2025 Ronald Deese 54, has joined his family in heaven on June 30, 2025 surrounded by the love of his family. Born and raised with a heart full of laughter, and a spirit that never sat still. Ronald was truly the life of every party and the soul to every fish story.

Ronald was a devoted husband of Phyllis (PJ) Deese, the proud father of six wonderful children, Mariah (Woodrow) Breeden, Jessica (Jody) Vaughan, Logan (Hunter) Sims, Hope Stevens, Matthew Sikes, Charles Norris, and the ever playful endless loving Grandfather to 15 Grandchildren. He was the beloved son of Jerrel Deese Sr. and Cecilia Deese, and the cherished brother to four siblings, Jerrel (Liz) Deese, Tammy Johndrow, Crystal (Timmy) Howell and Tony (Megan) Deese. His legacy of love and laughter extends through countless nieces, nephews and his God children, Chelsey and Kelly Driggers.

He could out-fish, out-hunt, and out-joke just about anyone, with each of those you would often hear the words "my bad" from him. Whether holding a fishing pole or grandkids, Ronald gave everything-his energy, his heart and his time with no reservations. To know him was to laugh with him, to be hugged by him, and to leave with a full plate and even fuller heart. Ronald's joy, warmth and legendary fishing and camping trips will be deeply missed but never forgotten. A Memorial Service will be held at Palmetto Street Church of God on Friday July 11" at 5:00 pm. (3132 W. Palmetto St, Florence, SC) He will also have a celebration of life at Goat Island Restaurant Saturday July 12th at 10:00 am. (9645 Wash Davis Road, Summerton, SC 29148)
