Born on September 24, 1952, in Stanly County, NC, Ronnie was the beloved son of the late Paul Green Furr and Vernie Cleo Barringer Furr. He dedicated many years of his career as an employee of Piedmont Electric in Albemarle before his retirement. Ronnie was a member of New Life Church of Jesus Christ in Concord. A true automotive enthusiast, Ronnie had a lifelong passion for hot rods and muscle cars, spending countless hours working on and perfecting these mechanical treasures. His family fondly remembers him as a compassionate, sweet, caring, and loving man with an infectious sense of humor. He was known as a natural jokester who could brighten anyone's day with his quick wit and endless supply of jokes. He also loved visiting with his old friends, often popping in to check on them. Even during his time at the nursing home, Ronnie's spirit remained vibrant. He treasured outdoor moments with his family, especially watching the deer; including those memorable occasions when his adventurous spirit led to getting stuck in the mud, requiring a helpful rescue that became cherished family stories. Ronnie was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Beverly Sue Johnson Furr, daughters Teaoka Nichelle Freeze and Erica Lynn Furr, and his brothers Gary Donald Furr and Billy Joe Furr. He leaves behind a loving family who will forever cherish his memory: daughters Lisa Furr Lamb of Albemarle and Crystal Gail Heyer and her husband Jonathan of New London; son Jeffrey Donald Furr of Albemarle; eight grandchildren; Justin, Samantha, Brandi, Shian, Mariah, Carmen, Daylon, and Niziah; and six great-grandchildren. Ronnie's legacy of laughter, love, and mechanical expertise will live on in the hearts of all who knew him. The family requests that memorials be made to Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care to assist with final expenses.
