Life Reflections

"The Lord is my strength and my shield, my heart trusted in Him and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth;

and with my song will I praise Him     Psalm 28:7

God in His infinite wisdom is keenly aware when one of His children has grown tired of their journey. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building not  made by hands, but whose maker and builder is God.

Ronald Lee Cunningham completed his journey and entered eternal rest in Florence, SC on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, after an extended illness. He was born July 1, 1966 in Kingstree, SC, the son of the late Laurie Lee Cunningham and Georgia Mae Shaw Cunningham. He was preceded in death by his father and a brother, Kenneth Lee Dukes.

He received his formal education in the public schools of Williamsburg county as a student at St. Mark Elementary and High School. Ronald took his love for being outside and turned it into a career working on the tree farm planting trees that fulfilled a need for nature and man, and working on a turf farm.

Ronald's family was affiliated with St. Paul United Methodist Church and that is where he received his early religious teachings.
