Ronald David Keck

Mr. Ronald David Keck (Ronnie) age 63 of Harrogate, Tennessee was born July 5th, 1957 and went home to be with the Lord on February 21, 2021.  He was a man of faith and a member of Pump Springs Baptist Church.  He took great pride in being a loving and faithful husband, loving father, devoted Pappy and a friend to all.

Retiring a short time ago from Vaughn & Melton Consulting Engineers, where he was employed for over 30 years , he was ready to travel and enjoy his hobbies-both new and old. He was an incredible chef, baker, and could whip up the most amazing homemade fudge along with many other delightful treats he loved to share. He enjoyed being a grill master on the weekends, wood working, restoring old furniture, and he was always up for a trip, especially to the beach with the top down or on his motorcycle with Linda and friends.  He loved all things Tennesse orange and spending Sunday afternoons snuggled up with his fur buddy Milo watching a race or game.

He always had a project in motion and an eye out for the next one. His green thumb could produce a plentiful garden and the most beautiful blooms the eye could appreciate.  He will be greatly missed and forever in our hearts.

Ronnie was preceded in death by his Father Hubert D. Keck and Mother Brenda J. Keck.

He is survived by his wife Dr. Linda S. Keck, Daughter Lindsey Keck-Ricci, Son: Josh (Amber) Keck. Grandchildren: Baylee Keck, Joey and Ava Ricci, Breanna and Kylie. Aunts: Alice (Mike) Parks, Pat (Bill) Ausmus, In-laws: John and Corene Richardson. Sister-in-laws, Millie (J.W.) Campbell, Margie (Mike) Langley.  Special nieces and nephews: Shannon (Wayne) Rice (Logan), Johnna (Daryl) Ledford (Blye and Cole), Chad Gregory (Cole), and Special fur buddy, Milo.
