Ron Scott Dekle

Augusta, GA – With profound sadness and immense love, the family of Ron Scott Dekle, 56, announces his passing on Monday, December 8, 2025. Ron was a devoted husband, a proud father, a treasured “Poppy,” and a steadfast friend whose presence filled every room with warmth, humor, and compassion. A celebration of Ron’s life will be held on Friday, December 12, 2025, at 12 o’clock noon at University Parkway Church of God, 1761 University Pkwy, Aiken, SC 29801, with Pastor Henry Shaffer officiating. The family will receive friends at the church beginning at 11 o’clock, one hour prior to the service. Interment will be private. Born in Atlanta, GA, Ron was the beloved son of the late Leonard and Carol Dekle. From an early age, he carried a heart full of generosity and a gift for bringing people together. Ron loved to cook, to host, and to fill his home with laughter. But above all, he cherished time with his family, his greatest joy, his proudest accomplishment, and the purpose behind everything he did. His children and his precious grandchildren, Sloan and Ro, were the brightest lights in his life. Ron lived his faith with sincerity and strength. He was a dedicated member of University Parkway Church of God, serving faithfully as a deliverance minister and as the vice president of the men’s group. His ministry was not just a role— it was the way he lived, offering encouragement, comfort, and hope to all who needed it. Ron was also a former member of Fleming Christian Church, where he formed friendships that remained dear to him throughout his life. He is preceded in death by his parents, Leonard and Carol Dekle, who now welcome him into eternal rest. Honored to serve as pallbearers are Tyler Bernstein, Pete Fields, James Holsomback, Philip Palacz, Lee Yelton, and Adam Yelton, with Bill Turner serving as honorary pallbearers. Ron is survived by his loving wife, Sheri Rezzelle Dekle; his children, Grant Dekle (April), Morgan Fields (Hunter), and Emma Mutimer (Ross); his cherished grandchildren, Sloan Mutimer and Ro Mutimer; and his devoted siblings, Clorette Riddle (Stan “Moose”) and Anna Barry (Jim). To know Ron was to be loved without condition. His genuine kindness, his joyful spirit, and his unwavering dedication to those he held dear will remain forever in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though he has entered eternal rest, the impact of his life—his laughter, his faith, his love—will continue to echo through the lives he touched.
