Ronald “Ronnie” Eugene Powell
November 19, 1951 - February 1, 2025

Ronald "Ronnie" Eugene Powell, aged 73, of Chickamauga, Georgia, peacefully departed this life to join The Lord on Saturday, February 1, 2025. He was born in Chickamauga to the late Eugene and Nevella Raines Powell and was a cherished member of his community. Ronnie received his education at Osburn Elementary School in Chickamauga. He had a deep admiration for music, especially the classic sounds of Rock 'n Roll. His favorite hue was red, reflecting his spirited enthusiasm as a devoted fan of the Georgia Bulldawgs & Atlanta Braves. Ronnie fondly remembered attending church services with his mother at Shields Baptist Church in Chickamauga, Georgia during his early years and later enjoyed the warmth of White Oak Baptist Church in Trenton, Georgia.

Ronnie is preceded in death by his sister, Janet Kay Aaron, and his brothers, Mickey Powell and Brennan Powell. He is survived by his sister, Peggy (Terry) Smith of Soddy Daisy, TN; his brother, Donnie (Linda) Powell of East Brainerd, TN; sister-in-law, Sandra Powell of Chickamauga, GA; brother-in-law, Johnny Aaron of Rossville, GA; along with numerous nieces and nephews who will miss him dearly. The family expresses heartfelt gratitude to Warren and Ginger Johnson, who welcomed Ronnie into their home and loved him as their own. They also wish to thank Hamilton Hospice for their compassionate care and Quinton Memorial and Rehabilitation Center.

Ronnie was a truly special individual who brought joy to those around him. Friends may visit with the family on Tuesday from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm and again on Wednesday, one hour prior to the funeral service. The funeral will take place at 11:00 am on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, in the chapel, officiated by Daniel Horton followed by burial at Tennessee-Georgia Memorial Park in Rossville, Georgia.
