Ronald Ira Magee
October 6, 1955 - July 9, 2025
Ronald Ira Magee, age 69 and a resident of the Lawrence Creek Community, departed this life to be with Jesus in the early morning hours of Wednesday July 9, 2025, at his home. He was born in Tylertown on October 6, 1955, to the late Wee and Rose Magee, and grew up on a farm, working hard in the fields with his parents and siblings. Ronnie attended Pine High School where he played football for the Rebels. He operated a dairy farm for many years and had a long career on tugboats. He had a long career for Coastal Towing out of Houston, TX, both on the boats earlier and later on-shore, which required him to travel all over the country before retiring. Ronnie loved deer and rabbit hunting and enjoyed watching his favorite old western TV shows and recently Yellowstone. He had a fun sense of humor, always laughing and cracking jokes with his family. Ronnie always loved spending time with his family and will be sadly missed.
