Ronnie George Tanner Pickett
Ronnie was born on December 11, 1993 and passed away peacefully on August 27, 2016 to be with God and his angels. Ronnie is survived by his mommy and daddy, Cindy Baccash Pickett and Jeff Pickett; maternal grandparents, George and Frances Baccash; uncle, Rick Baccash (Sandy); aunts, Melissa Underhill and Misty Bias (Bobbi Jo Bias); sisters, Sabrina Tanner, Michelle Pickett Light (Timothy Light) and Shenay Wiler Pickett; niece, Alexis Jade Light and countless cousins, aunts and uncles in Florida and Georgia.
Ronnie was an awesome, amazing special needs young man who attended Mt. Herman ESC for 13 years where he thrived and thought he ran the school. He and his family have countless teachers, paraprofessionals, nurses and staff who we all consider our extended family. For the short 22 ½ years God blessed us with him, he touched many lives with his constant smile and humor. Heaven now has a beautiful winged angel that will be sorely missed.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 am Saturday, September 3, 2016 at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 2609 Park St., Jacksonville, FL 32204. A reception will follow in the church auditorium.
