Ronnie Dale Belyeu, given 71 years to live and enjoy life, on their ‘lil piece of paradise’ in Wills Point, Texas had a joyful reunion with his brother Rickie and his parents Imogene and Homer Belyeu the morning of Monday, December 20th, 2021, in Plano, Tx. In July of 1982, his son Cameron Belyeu came into his life. Ron raised Cameron and instilled character, love, discipline and appreciation for the rewards of hard work into Cameron, for 39 years. In the early 90’s, Ron bought land in Wills Point, Texas which later became The Circle B Ranch of East Texas. In the mid 90’s, Ron designed and had built a beautiful custom home there. He layed out the placement of 96 trees and shrubs to adorn the ranch. Ron worked hard and lived life! He enjoyed raising breed quality black angus cattle to sell and help others establish their own herd. To all who met and grew to know Ron enjoyed his warm personality, wit, wisdom and humor. He worked 28 years at General Electric utilizing his electronic skills, patience and intelligence, as a Factory Service Technician. He was admired and respected by all his GE colleagues. He took pride in himself by helping others grow their skills and character. Since his birthday on August 31, 2010 then retiring from GE the very next day, Ron began to really live life just a little bit more at home with his wife Brenda whom he has had a beautiful and loving marriage to for 19 years. Ron enjoyed restoring and putting his personal touch into wooden products with great detail, patience and expertise to a newer version of beauty. He could repair intricate electronic products with a professional and steady hand. He prided himself in investing in many John Deere products over the years whether it was a 65 horse tractor or an ATV that would go from 0 to 60 mph in a matter of seconds to quench his ‘need for speed’. Over the years he has taught his wife Brenda how to care for the land and animals of The Circle B Ranch of East Texas, to carry on his legacy.
Ron’s life will be celebrated by family and many friends on Monday, December 27th at Coker Mathews Funeral Home in Greenville, Tx with visitation at 1pm followed by graveside service at the nearby Forest Park Cemetery at 2pm, Dr. Dewey Davidson, officiating and Rod Hite of FBC Canton leading the music.
Pallbearers are Scott Barron, Craig Bornstein, Mark Champion, Bradford Hoerth, Dennis Rogers & Phillip Standing.
He is survived by his wife, Brenda Harrison of Wills Point, TX & son Cameron Belyeu of Mackinac Island, MI and sister Pattie Mize, husband Sam of Rowlett and niece Wendy Johnson and husband Jason of Rowlett and many cousins.
