Ronny Trammell

d. May 29, 2020

Ronny Lynn Trammell, aged 65, passed away in his home on Friday, May 29, 2020. Ronny spent his last hours surrounded by his loving wife, children, and grandchildren.

Ronny, the son of John and Mary Trammell, was born in Beaumont, Texas, on August 2, 1954. Eventually, he settled his family in Burkeville, Texas, and resided there the past 23 years.

Ronny earned his living in the refinery industry. His profession allowed him to travel widely across the U.S., especially in his role as master scheduler and planner for shutdowns. Ronny enjoyed using his travels on visits to local flea markets to grow his collection of various sports cards, knives, and old western books. Ronny often found rare collectables, while getting the chance to experience the communities of American hometowns across the nation.

Ronny also enjoyed keeping family traditions. When a shutdown was complete and his job was done, Ronny would return home and put together a family weekend full of good music, BBQ, and competitive horseshoe games. He also had a tradition of taking the family camping as much as possible. He grew that tradition even after he was diagnosed with colon cancer 7 years ago—which he fought and beat—by starting an annual "guys" camping trip. Ronny loved spending time with his wife, kids, and family, either through the traditions he started, or through spontaneous and memorable road trips, even if they were just afternoon daytrips.

Being a Marine, Ronny was always on time. His motto was: "If you're 15 minutes early, you're on time, if you're on time, you're late". If you were going somewhere with him, you never kept him waiting. If you did, he made sure you learned your lesson by laying on his horn and waking up the neighbors. He would not let off until you were in the vehicle.

He was also a generous and dependable man. Ronny would give the shirt off his back to help someone in need. He was always the one you could count on. Ronny was always first to lend his friends a hand, and always volunteered to help a friend fix or repair anything that was broken.

Ronny was, and is loved, by his family and many friends. His presence will be deeply missed. Although he did not have much time with them, Ronny especially loved to love on his grandchildren. He can rests easier knowing that “Pawpaw” left a lasting impression on their hearts. Ronny’s light will forever shine bright through the traditions he created, maintained, and so enjoyed during his lifetime.

He is survived by his loving and caring wife of 43 years, MaryEllen Trammell of Burkeville, TX; his son Ronny Trammell and wife Renee of Willis, TX; his daughter Megean Martinez and husband Steven of Jasper, TX; and daughter Sarah Trammell of Burkeville, TX. Brothers Jerry Trammell and wife Claudine of Lake Vernon, LA; Eddie Trammell and wife Debbie of Cold Springs, TX; Danny Trammell of Jasper, TX. Sister Linda Peters and husband Floyd of  Burkeville, TX, and 5 grandchildren: Adalynn, Ayden and Avery Martinez, Savannah Berry, and Jonathan Trammell.

Preceding Ronny in death are his parents John and Mary Trammell, sisters Carol and Debra, and brother John Trammell.
