Ronnie was born in Yates Center, Kansas, on January 7, 1933, to parents Roger Hammett Sr. and Leona Hammett. Shortly after they moved to Greenwood, La. where he was raised.

God healed him miraculously from multiple heart attacks; eventually passing from just the old age of 91. He was preceded in death by his wife of 51 years Helen Faye Hammett and son Ronald Dean Hammett Jr.
Ronnie’s memories will be cherished by his beloved family and all who called him Pa Paw, children Billy Wayne Hammett of Jesup, Ga and Roger Lee Hammett of Gladewater; grandchildren Michael, Ron, Brandon, Charles, Cameron, Robin and Alyssa; granddaughter-in-laws Brandi Hammett, Hazel Hammett and Destiny Hammett. Many great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren he loved and cherished.
