Ronnie was born January 9, 1956 in Carmi, Illinois to the late L.D. and Mitzi Charolette (Tucker) Dobbs.  He worked in the oilfield as a driller.  Ronnie was a guy who loved big and with all he had to those he cared for; people and dogs alike. He enjoyed being around family, watching his granddaughters play ball, umpiring baseball games and fishing. He loved spending time outdoors, especially areas around lakes or rivers.  Ronnie had a special talent for story telling, aggravating in fun, making you laugh and challenging the way you think.  He was adventurous, dedicated and above all generous. Ronnie always gave from the heart any chance he could. Ronnie was a great son, father, brother, grandfather and man.
