Fenner, Jr., Ronald C., age 77, of Centerville, passed away January 4, 2025. He was born October 14, 1947 in Dayton, Ohio; the son of the late Ronald and Phyllis (Shroyer) Fenner. Along with his parents, he is preceded in death by his sister, Bonnie Matonis. Ronnie is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Nancy (Cassel) Fenner; children, Phyllis (Steve) Pennington, Rhonda Fenner, Erin (Tracy) Manley, and Kevin Manley; grandchildren, Courtney-Ann (Zack) West, Ashley (Adam) Gonzalez, Whitney Howard, Owen Fors, Jemma Manley, and Jace Manley; great-grandchildren, Zeke, Oliver, and Giavanna; siblings, Connie Meyer and Donald Fenner; and numerous extended family members and friends.
Ronnie, a devoted husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and cherished memories. He was a man of many passions, including golfing, bowling, and dancing, which brought him immense joy throughout his life. As an avid sports enthusiast, Ronnie was a loyal fan of The Ohio State University and the Cincinnati Bengals, always eager to cheer on his favorite teams.
Ronnie's greatest delight, however, was spending time with his loved ones. He and his wife, Nancy, were inseparable, and their daily routines often included meeting friends and family at local restaurants, where they would share stories, laughter, and make countless memories. His love and devotion to Nancy were a constant source of inspiration to all who knew them.
As a family man, Ronnie adored his children and grandchildren, and took great pride in watching them grow and flourish, and the arrival of his great-grandchildren brought him immense happiness. His love, guidance, and support will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate enough to have known him.
While words cannot begin to capture the depth of our sorrow, we take comfort in the knowledge that Ronnie's memory will live on through the countless lives he touched. He will be deeply missed, but his legacy of love, kindness, and devotion will continue to inspire and guide us in the days ahead. Rest in peace, our beloved Ronnie. Your love and memory will never be forgotten.
