On Saturday, February 15, 2025, Mr. Ronald Lee Banks departed this life at Fairmont Crossing Health and Rehab Center in Amherst, VA. Born on November 6, 1940, to the late Roy N. Banks, Sr. and Madeline Watkins Banks.

Ronald was employed with George E. Jones Construction in Amherst, VA for 35 years. He worked until his health declined. He enjoyed and loved his family and friends. He was a stranger to no one and loved helping anyone. He was a Jack of all trades-there wasn't anything he couldn't do or fix. In his spare time, he enjoyed fishing, hunting, raising and killing hogs, and growing a garden. He also loved to ride a motorcycle back in his earlier days.

He was preceded in death by his sisters: Thelma B. Jordan, Lillie B. Jefferson, Erma B. Cashwell, and Constance B. Canada; brothers, Roy N. Banks, Jr., Roger Banks, Charles E. Banks, and Donelle Banks.

Ronald is survived by his only sister, Mary B. McDaniel (Eddie) of Amherst, VA; 2 sons, Ronnie (Tara) Turner and Robert (Trinita) Turner; his daughter, Tina Harris and Bonus Daughter (Hospice Nurse), Brooke N. Harris all of Amherst, VA; 2 special friends, Wanda Wilson, Naidra Wilson and family.
