Ronald Meredith “Ronny” Elmore, 64, died April 30, 2023. Ronny was born Sept. 24, 1958 to Paul Andrew Elmore and Merrilon Pugh May in Jackson. He graduated from Jackson High School with the Class of 1977 and will be fondly remembered as the class cut up.

Mostly he enjoyed spending time with his family, especially his precious grandchildren, and his beloved dog, Rip.
Ronny is preceded in death by his mother; brother, Ricky Elmore; and grandparents, John Merrida and Virginia Shipp Pugh.
He is survived by his children, Lauren Moore and Daniel Elmore; son-in-law and dear friend, Chris Moore; grandchildren, Aubrey Moore (Will) Vick, Chloe Moore, Gavin Moore, Ryder Eckstein and Sadie Elmore; siblings, Randall (Laurie) Elmore, Sandra (Mac) Henley, Lee May, Lynne (Mel) Stacey, Russell Elmore and Paula (Ed) Harris; and father, Paul Andrew (Laura) Elmore.
