Bro. Ronnie Fox, a devoted servant of God, passed away peacefully on August 23, 2025, at the age of 68 in Eddyville, KY. Born on October 14, 1956, in Lamasco, KY, he was a man whose life was a testament to his unwavering faith and the love he had for his family and friends.
Ronnie dedicated 25 years of his life ministering to the congregation of Crider Baptist Church and continued to spread the word of God as the assistant minister at Eddyville Second Baptist Church. His commitment to his faith was evident in every aspect of his life. During his calling to ministry, he served his community as a compassionate Funeral Director at Morgan’s Funeral Home, a role in which he provided comfort to many during their times of loss.
A man of many interests, Ronnie enjoyed fishing, being in God’s nature, and cherished the moments he spent on vacation in Gatlinburg. His hobbies of collecting coins and stamps were more than pastimes; they were extensions of his love for history and the stories they represented.
Ronnie was a proud alumnus of Mid Continent University, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree. His education further fueled his passion for helping others and led him to a life of service and ministry that touched countless lives.
