Retired Texas Ranger Ronny M. Griffith of White Oak, TX, went to be with the Lord on August 20, 2024.
He was born on March 25, 1951, to the late Mr. William Drummond Griffith and Mrs. Fannie Lou Griffith of New Boston, TX. Ronny was a 1969 graduate of New Boston High School and later graduated from the Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Academy in February 1972. In 1975, he married his wife of 49 years Martha Salmons Griffith of Kilgore, TX. In 1981, Ronny was promoted to Texas Ranger, where he proudly served until 2010, and later joined the Gregg County Sheriff’s Department as the Emergency Coordinator until he retired. He was a 50 year member of the Danville Lodge 101 AF&AM and member of East Mountain Baptist Church.
Ronny loved his family, friends, the outdoors, building things, football, old Westerns, animals, Whataburger, and “stirring the pot.” He will be greatly missed.
