Ronnie Daniel Bean

Ronnie Daniel Bean (May 10, 1972 – May 18, 2024) is remembered for the deep love he held for his family and the quiet steadiness he brought to everyday life. A son of Troy Chandler and Katherlean Bean, Ronnie built his life in the Clay County area and was known to those close to him as a caring father who delighted in the company of his children.

He was a devoted parent to Zydarian Phillips and Tye, and he held special bonds with daughters Jasmine Jennings, Sharonika Bean, and Amiya Townsend. Family gatherings and simple moments shared with loved ones were central to Ronnie’s life—times when his warmth and presence made others feel supported and seen.

Friends and relatives recall Ronnie for his gentle, familiar presence in the community. Though he preferred the company of family and close friends, his impact on those who knew him extended quietly—through everyday acts of care, the comfort of his conversation, and the steadiness of his support.

Services honoring Ronnie’s life were held at Johnson Creek Missionary Baptist Church in Pheba, Mississippi, where family and community members gathered to celebrate the relationships and memories that defined him. Those who loved him continue to carry his memory forward in the small, lasting ways he shaped their lives.

Ronnie’s passing left a profound void for his family. While public accounts note that his life ended violently, what endures most in remembrance is the person he was: a devoted father, a loving son, and a presence that mattered deeply to those closest to him. His family’s grief is matched by gratitude for the time they shared and the legacy of care he leaves behind.
