Ronnie Marvin Bays was born August 8, 1935 in Alexandria, Louisiana and passed away at home on March 24, 2020 in Garland, Texas after a courageous five-year battle with cancer.
Ronnie accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior on December 20, 1946 at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Alexandria, Louisiana. Ronnie and his brother, Jerry, walked to church every Sunday. He grew up loving the Lord and later raised his family to follow Christ.
After graduating from Bolton High School, Ronnie met Blythe McClendon and they were married on July 4, 1957. Ronnie attended college at Southwestern Louisiana Institute and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering. Shortly after graduating from college Ronnie was drafted into the U.S. Army and served for two years in Korea. He helped draft plans for rebuilding the infrastructure of South Korea.

Programs included special projects and airplanes for foreign heads of state. Ronnie was a registered engineer in Texas and Louisiana.

One of the most memorable things about Ronnie was his smile. Ronnie was a friend to many people, and he loved to make people laugh. He always had a positive attitude. Ronnie was a wonderful and loving husband and father and took great care of his family. Ronnie is survived by his wife, Blythe, daughter and son-in-law, Rhonda and Bobby Brown, daughter, Suzann Bays, granddaughter, Katelyn Plunkett, brother and sister-in-law, Robert and Elizabeth Bays, brother Johnny Bays, and sister Carolyn Maynard.
