George Ronnie Grubbs, Sr. (Ronnie) went to be with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on April 12, 2022, at the age of 72. He is survived by his wife, Patricia Burke Grubbs, his only son Ron Grubbs, Jr. (Denise) and his stepchildren Megan (Jeff), Shane (Kim) and Sean (Jennifer).

His pride and joy was being a Pop Pop to Grant, Grayson and Georgia Rae Grubbs; and Grandpa to Anora, Bennett and Brody Mackin; Ethan and Colby Burke; Ashyln and Cayleigh Burke. He made sure to be present for baseball games, dance recitals and everything in between as much as possible. Ronnie was also a dedicated brother to Carolyn (David), Nadine, Judy (David) and Cherry. He is further survived by his nephew/best friend Gary, and many other nieces and nephews, other relatives and many special friends.

He humbly served his hometown community as a member of the Columbia Fire Department for many years. After retiring, he moved to Florida and served his community as a security guard for 30 years at Jonathan's Landing where he was loved by all who knew him.

Ronnie will be fondly remembered by family and friends as a devoted Pop Pop/Grandpa to his grandkids. He loved spending time at Disney, traveling with his family and collecting coins. He spent his spare time humbly helping those around him.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that you take a moment to hug your family members, grandchildren and friends and take a walk or do a random act of kindness in honor of Ronnie. If you would like to make a donation, please donate to the Arthritis Foundation in honor of his granddaughter, Georgia Rae, who has had arthritis since the age of 1.
