Stinson

Ronnie Stinson age 84 of Scottsville, KY passed away peacefully at home on November 9, 2026 surrounded by his loving family. Born on July 19, 1942 in Burkesville, KY, Ronnie lived a life of service, dedication, and love for his family. He proudly served in the United States Air Force as an aircraft mechanic before beginning a career in law enforcement with the City of Akron Police Department in Akron, Ohio. He dedicated many years to serving his community and retired with the rank of Detective. After retirement and moving back to Kentucky, Ronnie enjoyed boating and fishing on Barren River and Dale Hollow Lakes.

Ronnie is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Sheila Stinson; his son Ronnie(Max) and daughter Erika and her husband Mike; his grandchildren Oli, Beckett, Maeve, Gus, Samantha, Connor, and Chase; and his cherished great-granddaughter, Amelia Grace, the apple of his eye.

During the final months of his life, Ronnie was lovingly cared for at home by his wife, Sheila, and daughter, Erika. Their devotion allowed him to remain surrounded by the love and comfort of his family until the very end

There is a beautiful concept known as a “Double Bond,” when one life is celebrated and another is remembered. Two lives, forever connected by love. November 9th will forever hold a special meaning for this family, as it marks both Sheila’s birthday and the day Ronnie passed away. One life celebrated, one life remembered, and two lives forever connected by a love that will never end.

In accordance with Ronnie’s wishes, cremation has been chosen and the family will have a visitation on Friday, November 13, 2026 from 1 P.M. until 4 P.M. at Ballou & Stotts Funeral Home, 304 N. Main Street, Burkesville, KY.
