Bring Ronnie Home

Hello! I'm Laura Smyth. I was the Senior Class president at Maconaquah High School for the class of 99. A fellow classmmate, Ronnie Howell, has passed away very unexpectedly. When a classmate passes away, a piece of our family passes as well. He leaves behind a fiance but also a beautiful 16 year old daughter, Madison, and a 11 year old son, Dalton. Ronnie was residing in Florida. His children and a lot of his family and friends live in Indiana. Due to Ronnie not being married yet, Madison technically became next to kin. I have been in contact with Madison. Her one wish is to have her dad flown home so her and her brother can see him one last time and say their final "see you later". Also, she wants his friends to be able to see him one last time. With this comes a financial burden. Please help bring Ronnie home so his children can see him one last time. No 16 year old or 11 year old should be burying their father at such a young age. Let’s make her wish come true!

Ronnie was one of a kind. He had the best sense of humor and could make anyone laugh and smile. As Madison said, "my dad loved so many people, he just wasn't good at showing it." And if you were friends with him, you knew he truly did care about you.

All donations will go towards flying him home, as well as, funeral expenses. If you do not want to donate via this page, a Venmo has been established as well: Laura Smyth@BringRonnieHome.
