June 24, 1945 - October 28, 2023
Roger Dale Ring, born June 24, 1945 passed away on October 28, 2023 at the age of 78. He was born in Dixie, Arkansas.
Roger grew up in both Jonesboro and West Memphis and was raised in the Baptist faith. He graduated from Marion High School and was a great singer. He even was the lead singer of a local Memphis band called the "Mark V". After a brief stint in college, he joined the National Guard and then moved to the Army Reserves and spent 22 years serving his country. He was a great father, who put his heart and soul into coaching his children in football, baseball, softball and basketball. He worked for both Superior and Yellow Freight lines as a truck driver. He had a wonderfully large personality and would tell you, "he never saw a mirror he didn't like." He loved playing cards and spending time with his family.
Roger was preceded in death by his parents, Harvey Ring and Mildred Johnson; brothers, Terry Ring and Eldon Ring and sisters, Ann Cooper and Jean Phillips.
Surviving Roger is his wife, Dianna Ring; son, Michael Ring (Julie); daughters, Elizabeth Pingel (Jon) and Rebecca Ring; grandchildren, Brittany, Abbi, John, Alex, Michelle and Samantha; brother, Bruce Ring and sisters, Mickey Langdon, Linda Smith and Rickie Johnson.

I was so sorry to hear of Roger's passing... I worked with him at Superior Forwarding for about 13 years. He was an all around nice guy. He will be missed.

I had Roger insured on one thing or another for as long as I can remember. I always enjoyed visiting with him when he would come by the office. He was a great guy. My sympathy to Linda and family.

To the Ring family:
So sorry for your loss. Roger was such a good sport and gave his time freely to the youth.
I remember he was Clint’s (Riggan) basketball coach before they could play school ball and Clint made a goal for the opposite team and all Roger could do was laugh.

We are so sorry to hear about Roger. He was always happy and the center of attention wherever he went. I think he had fun rolling our yard or that might have been Randy Kilmore.
