Ronnie Stephen Williams, 74, of Moore County, North Carolina, died on July 4, 2025. Born on December 16, 1950, to Talmadge Lee and Jessie Williams, Ronnie spent his entire life in Moore County, where he built an impressive legacy rooted in hard work, creativity, and a deep connection to the land.
A natural entrepreneur with an independent spirit, Ronnie founded and operated multiple businesses throughout his life, including a landscaping company, a vineyard and winery, a nursery, and an irrigation business. He had a talent for building things from the ground up, whether it was a thriving business or a stretch of land brought to life.
Ronnie was tenacious, creative, strong-willed, and generous. He loved music, hunting, and the quiet beauty of the mountains. He found joy in time with his grandchildren and took pride in what he had built and in the life he lived on his own terms.
He is survived by his devoted and brave wife, Denise; his children: Bradley, Melissa, and Ashley (Eric); his grandchildren: Austin, Morgan, Jordan, Addison, Everett, and Zac; and his siblings: Judy, Brenda, Curtis, and Gary. He was preceded in death by his parents, Talmadge Lee and Jessie Williams.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at a later time.
Ronnie leaves behind a legacy of determination and grit. He was one of a kind. He will be deeply missed.
