Ronald Stewart Conant

Ronnie Conant, beloved family man and friend, passed away peacefully, Friday, April 24, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Ronnie was known for his outgoing personality and quirky sense of humor that could light up any room. He had a deep love for the outdoors and found great joy in fishing, camping, and tending to his garden. With a true green thumb, Ronnie could grow just about anything, and he took pride in sharing the fruits of his labor with those he loved.

A passionate sports fan, Ronnie rarely missed a game and was a devoted supporter of the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Dallas Cowboys. Win or lose, his loyalty never wavered, and cheering on his teams was one of his favorite pastimes.

Ronnie also had a deep love for music and cooking, often bringing the two together while preparing meals for his family. He was especially known for his homemade chicken noodle recipe, a dish that became a cherished tradition and a symbol of his care and generosity.

Above all, Ronnie loved his family. Whether gathered around a meal, enjoying the outdoors, or simply spending time together, those moments meant the most to him.

He will be remembered for his vibrant spirit, kind heart, and the joy he brought to everyone around him. Ronnie’s presence will be deeply missed but forever cherished by all who knew and loved him.

Ronnie is survived by his children Michael (Heather) Conant, Constance Conant, and Douglas (Nicole) Conant; grandchildren Michael II, Madison, Owen, Ryleigh, Ashton, Isiah, Malachi, Zoey, Kaydence, and Layla; great grandchildren Aryannah, Gracelynn, Hazel, Naomi, Khelani, and Catalina; sisters Vicki Conant, Sandy Lehman, Vivian Cave, and Rosemary McDonald; brothers Rick Conant, Timothy Conant, and Jerramie Conant; as well as many nieces and nephews.
