Ronald E. Kelley, 78, of North Little Rock passed away on December 10, 2024. He was born July 7, 1946 to Pauline M. and Carl A. Kelley, Sr. in Little Rock.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Carl A. Kelley, Jr. and Gary Kelley and his second wife, Barbara Kelley.

Ronnie was a devoted Christian man with many facets to his life. He was proud to join the United States Marine Corps. Although his service was cut short by hearing loss in one ear, Ronnie continued to live his life by the core values and the creed of the USMC; Honor, Duty, Commitment, Love of family, Love of country and above all, Love of GOD.

Ronnie retired from Delta Airlines after 33 years of service.

He enjoyed different hobbies including yard work, golf and woodworking. He made several pieces of furniture throughout his life. He also loved his Arkansas Razorbacks, in every sport, regardless of how good or bad their seasons played out. Wooo Pig Sooie!!

To Ronnie's family, I am so sorry for the loss of Ronnie, he was a dear friend of mine and my brother Dale McClendon. I did not know that he had passed away until Christmas Eve. The lord has got a job cut out for him keeping Dale and Ronnie out of trouble in heaven as he did here on earth.
Ronnie was truly a great person, will miss seeing him out and about.

He was really the only Father figure I ever had in my life and I learned so much from him. He was a great husband to my mother and I couldn't have asked for more. I will miss him very much. RIP
