Ronnie Ellis

Ronnie Ellis, age 59, of Mt. Carmel, entered into his eternal peace on Monday, December 26, 2016. He was of the United Methodist Church faith. Ronnie was an Eagle Scout, avid sportsman, guitarist, lifeguard, hiker, an award winning archer and loved being outdoors. He was a current employee at Wal-Mart of Kingsport with 26 years of service, where he had become known for his warm, loving smile and welcoming personality. Most of all Ronnie loved being with his family. He was a loving husband, son, father, grandfather and brother; and his loving smile will be greatly missed by all those who love him and his jokes and stories, especially his coffee buddies. Ronnie has now been reunited with his wife, Pam Ellis; he was also preceded in death by his father, Don Ellis; his paternal grandparents, Edgar and Nina Lee Ellis; maternal grandparents, R.W. and Mary Bland; and special friends, Dr. C. David Hensley and Bill Carmichael. He is survived by his loving daughter, Grace Ellis; grandson, Gauge Dishner (and Gauge's father, Alan Dishner); mother, Frances Ellis; sister, Ronda Morelock (Terry); nephews, Jarrad Morelock and Brandon Morelock; niece, Cassie Morelock; and a host of extended family and friends. The family will receive friends from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm on Friday, December 30, 2016 at Grange Hall United Methodist Church in Church Hill. A Celebration of Life Service will begin at 7:00 pm.
