Ronnie recently passed away from health complications on March 24, 2023. He was raised by his parents Ferguson and Nannie Bell of Clarksville, TN. He graduated from Clarksville High School in 1975.

He met and married Geneva Perryman and shortly thereafter they moved to California. They moved back to Clarksville to continue their lives together, until her death.

Ronnie loved to dance, fish, hunt and could make you laugh. He would cook anything with gravy. You just may want to ask what it is first.

Ronnie is survived by son, Antonio Merriweather (Shontaria); stepdaughter, Gennell Perryman; siblings, Warneda Barker, Deborah Whitlock (Terry), Ferguson Bell, Freda O’Neal (Donald); grandchildren, Ariana and Saniyah Merriweather, and Paul, Schnell, Darnell, and Ronnell Comauex; and many great grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. Salinda Sanders, devoted friend.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his wife, Geneva, parents, Ferguson and Nannie, and sisters, Linda Tanner and Shirley Bell.
