Ronald Lee "Ronnie" Beamer, 77, of Centralia, Missouri, entered eternal rest on November 14, 2025, at Harry S. Truman Memorial Hospital. He was born April 15, 1948, to John F. and Dorothy D. Beamer.

He is survived by his wife, Kathy Beamer (married July 8, 2000); his children Bobby J. Beamer (Angela), Nicke L. Beamer, and Mathew Greenlee, all of Centralia; his grandchildren Ian, Cameryn, Brooklyn McKenney, and Ben, Will, and Hunter Greenlee; several beloved nieces and nephews; and his loyal dog, Bennie.

He was preceded in death by his parents (both in 2007); his brothers Kenneth W. Beamer (2016) and Kenneth's wife Ronda (2015); nephew Travis W. Beamer (2005) and Johnny G. Beamer (2012), whose wife Nelda survives.

Ronnie was known for his steady hands as a skilled pool player, his talent with engines of all kinds, and his love for horses and herding dogs. A proud Vietnam veteran, he supported Centralia football and valued participating in local veteran recognitions. He was also an excellent fisherman, a gifted storyteller, and someone who could make anyone laugh. He never met a stranger and started each day with remarkable positivity. His warmth, humor, and fighting spirit touched everyone around him.

A Celebration of Life will be held at IC Billiards in Centralia on December 13th from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. All are welcome to share stories and honor Ronnie's remarkable life.
