Mr. Ronny Leland North, 77, of Calico Rock, Arkansas passed away Wednesday, January 8, 2025, in Mountain Home, Arkansas. He was born on September 26, 1947, in Gainesville, Missouri to Ernest and Ollie (Stone) North. He was married to Jo Ann (Merriman) for 40 years.

Ronny was raised on a farm in Iowa. He loved horses, being outdoors; hunting, fishing, and camping, especially at his favorite place, Gunner Pool in Fifty-Six, Arkansas. He was an avid gun owner who loved the idea of an off-the-grid survivalist lifestyle and had a passion for Native American history and culture, the Wild West, and country and bluegrass music. He was known for being a ''Tall Tale Teller'' with larger-than-life stories and experiences. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend who never met a stranger and will be greatly missed by all.

Ronny is survived by his wife; two daughters: Amanda Fulks (Joshua) of Alco, Arkansas and Laura Bradshaw of Fayetteville, Arkansas; stepdaughter: Teresa Hall of Springfield, Missouri; four grandchildren: Dalton Fuller, Grayson Gosser, Kade Fulks, and Gannon Fulks, and a host of many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents; infant son: Reid Shannon North; infant brother William North; stepson: Greg Hall; three sisters: Donna Miller, Veda Finchem, and Waneta Havner, and two brothers: Jay North and Ernie North.
