Ronald Herron Obituary

Ronald Lynn Herron Jr., age 62, of Maryville, Tennessee, went home to be with the Lord surrounded by his family on Saturday, Feb. 1, 2025, at the University of Tennessee Medical Center.

First and foremost, Lynn was a follower of Jesus Christ and, even in his final moments on earth, urged others to follow His leading and example.

An avid outdoorsman, Lynn loved spending time on the lake or in the woods enjoying God's creation.

The other great love in his life was his family, and there was nothing he enjoyed better than spending quality time with them, particularly his eight grandchildren.

He was a lifelong employee of the Midsouth division of Vulcan Materials.

He was preceded in death by: his mother, Norma Mae Herron.

He is survived by: his father, Ronald Lynn Herron Sr.;

Brother, Roger Herron;

Son, Cory (Samantha), and their children, D'Artagnan and Mackenzie Barnhardt, Natasha, Sabine, and Caleb Herron;

Daughter, Katelyn Herron Skeen (T.J.), and their children, Thomas, Maddie-Kate, and William.

The family received friends from 6 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 7, 2025, in the Smith Trinity Chapel. A celebration of Lynn's life followed at 7 p.m. with Rev. Brandon Leitch officiating.

The family and friends assembled at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2025, at East Maryville Baptist Cemetery for the interment service and burial.

The family would also like to extend our sincerest thanks to the CVICU doctors and care staff at UT Medical Center for their exemplary care during Lynn's final earthly days.
