Ronald Keith Tuggle, age 68, of Antioch, Tennessee, passed away on May 30, 2025. Born on February 16, 1957, in Detroit, Michigan, to James Edward Tuggle and Ruth Pickard Tuggle, Ronald lived a life marked by service, hard work, and deep devotion to family and friends.
Ronald proudly served his country in the United States Air Force for four years, stationed at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls, Montana. Following his military service, he dedicated his career to several fields—working as a commercial telephone technician for the Williams Group, serving as an armed security guard at Bellemead Plaza, and contributing his time and talents at the Nashville Gun Club.
An outdoorsman at heart, Ronald found great joy in fishing, hunting, and spending quality time with those he loved. His easygoing nature and generous spirit left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
Ronald is survived by his beloved wife, Debra Tuggle; siblings Beverley Kelly, Roger Tuggle (Amee), Pamela Adams (Ricky), and Laura Johnson (Steve); brother-in-law Billy Taylor; sisters-in-law Lynn Cave and Tammy Magger; and his dear mother-in-law, Sylvia Taylor. He also leaves behind numerous nieces and nephews who cherished him deeply.
He was preceded in death by his parents, James Edward Tuggle and Ruth Pickard Tuggle and sister, Patricia Dollard.
Ronald’s family and friends will miss his strength, warmth, and humor, but they take comfort in knowing he is now at peace. A life well-lived, and a man well-loved—his memory will live on in the hearts of many.
