Ronnie passed on to his next great adventure on March 10, 2026, after a long-fought battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He leaves behind his wife of 35 years, Kami Sampson, his sons Jeffery Holcomb, his wife Elizabeth, Christopher Sampson, his wife Mindy Sampson, and his daughter Ashley Holston and her husband Robbie Holston. His grandchildren, whom he adored, are Jordan, Jackie, Caden, Ryan, Chance, Payton, Rocky, and Maddie. He leaves behind his sister Linda (Gareth), Weldon, his brother Terry (Kathy) Sampson. His special friends and the extended Anderson families.
Ronnie was a Vietnam Veteran who served on the Richard B Anderson and ended his Navy service on the Crash Crew in Adak, Alaska. He joined Local 669 Sprinkler fitters’ union, retiring at the age of 55, but maintaining his union membership until his death.
Ronnie was a lifetime member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, where he served in multiple positions and two terms as Commander of the Falls Church, VA chapter, as well as serving in their color guard.
Ronnie had a larger-than-life personality and would tell anyone who listened that his children were his biggest accomplishment and his grandchildren were his greatest legacy. He loved fishing, hunting, boating, and camping. If he was your friend, he was your friend for life. He leaves all those who knew him with great memories to hold on to.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
