Ronnie Alan Cikanek, 72, of Ennis, Texas, passed away on Friday, March 7, 2025. Born on June 6, 1952, in Ennis, Texas, to Antone and Adelle Cikanek, Ronnie lived a life defined by integrity, hard work, and an unwavering love for his family. A graduate of St. John's High School in 1970, Ronnie built a career rooted in dedication and craftsmanship. He brought his work ethic and skill to Coors Distributing and LaDew Fire Protection before finding his home at Leggett & Platt, where he spent 29 years before retiring. He was a valued member of SPJST, KJT, and the Crow Barn Boys Club, where he formed lasting friendships and shared countless memories. Ronnie was a man of few words, yet his presence spoke volumes. He never sought attention or praise—respect and admiration followed him naturally. He found joy in life's simple pleasures: the stillness of a hunting morning, working in his shop, watching the ever-changing Texas skies, and the thrill of a close game in any sport. But above all, his heart belonged to his family, especially his children and grandchildren, who were the true pride of his life. He is preceded in death by his parents, Antone and Adelle Cikanek, and his loyal four-legged companions, Hank and Sam. The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Raymond and Catherine Blair for their compassionate care and support as well as Ennis Fire Department for always kindly lifting him up. Although his physical presence will be greatly missed, his spirit of strength, kindness, and quiet wisdom will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. His family finds comfort in the countless memories and the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy of love, resilience, and unwavering devotion. A Celebration of Ronnie's life will be held on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, at 11 a.m. in the J.E. Keever Mortuary Chapel of Ennis. Interment will follow in Myrtle Cemetery under the direction of J.E. Keever Mortuary, Inc.
