Heartbroken to hear about Ronnie. We were high school buddies, played basketball together, fished together, hung out together. He was such a gentle spirit. One of the nicest persons I’ve had in my life. The whole McLendon family sends condolences to the Jacobs family. Thankful for the blessed hope we have in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
