Mr. Ronald W. Huckabee (Ronnie) age 66, passed away at St. Vincent's infirmary in Little Rock, Arkansas on January 20, 2014 following his seventh surgery in six years. Ronald was born to Thomas Glenon and Billie Bryant Huckabee on July 30, 1947 in Hope, Arkansas. Ronnie loved the lord and it showed in how he lived his life. He was a member of First Christian Church of Hope. When Ronnie retired from Hope Auto in 2012 he enjoyed fishing in his pond with his brother-in-law, James Parker Dickerson. He fed his fish daily using his golf cart "The Green Hornet". Ronnie was talented at tying his own baits. With his loving and giving spirit he had, he enjoyed giving his prized baits to others for free. If you were not blessed to have met this sweet gentle man, you missed a bright spot in your life. Our lives are better for being blessed to be his family. Our lives will never be the same without him. Ronnie always had a smile on his face and spread happiness wherever he went.
