Ronnie Gene Heath, September 8, 1960-October 15, 2024.  

Ronnie Gene Heath, 64, of Three Oaks, Michigan, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, October 15, 2024. He was born on September 8, 1960, to Carl Heath and Gail Crandall Ostrich. Ronnie was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend.  

On June 5, 1981, Ronnie married his sweetheart, Debbie Ruddy, with whom he shared a deep and lasting love. Together, they raised their daughter, Kate, who brought them joy and happiness. Ronnie was an awesome Papi to two boys, Rudy and Finn, who were the light of his life.  

A fabulous chef, Ronnie understood the power of sharing a meal with people he loved, and creating wonderful food and memories for the public-even if they arrived ten minutes before closing. His greatest passions included cooking and cheering on the Green Bay Packers. His talents, humor, and kindness touched so many, and his spirited love for the Packers brought countless joy to game days.  

Ronnie is survived by his wife Debbie, daughter Kate, grandsons Rudy and Finn, brother Norman Heath, sister Paulette Herman, and many other family members and friends who will miss him dearly.  

Arrangements are being entrusted to Haverstock Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 602 Maple Ave., LaPorte, IN. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later time. Cremation has taken place.    

Memorial contributions may be made to the family.
