Ronald "Ronnie" Stiltner

Ronald H. Stiltner, 52, was called home to the Lord on Monday, January 19th, 2026.

Born September 26th, 1973, in Brevard, North Carolina, he was the son of the late Ronnie and Rose Stiltner of Baileysville, West Virginia.

He was a 1992 graduate of Baileysville High School, where he was voted "Best Personality", a fitting title that remained true throughout his life. He spent twenty-five years working as a coal miner and most recently served as a Material Coordinator for C.W. Wright, though his heart always remained with the mining community.

Ronald's humor, compassion, and larger-than-life spirit touched everyone he met. He had a rare gift for making friends anywhere he went, creating lasting bonds and countless cherished memories along the way. His presence was a bright light in this world, and to those who knew him, there truly will never be another "Punk".

In addition to his parents, Ronald was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Wayne "Peg" and Edith Stiltner and maternal grandparents, Gordie Hager and Magalene Lester.

Those left to celebrate his life are his beloved wife and soul-mate, Ginger Lester Stiltner; three adored children,  Taylor and Brooke Stiltner of Beckley and his son, and buddy, Micah Stiltner of Baileysville;  three stepdaughters he considered his own,  Kelsey (Alex) Perry, of Gilbert, Mariah( Jacob) Stewart, of Portsmouth, Virginia, and Danielle (Justin  )Sullivan, of Coal Mountain.  He was a proud "Poppy" to two special grandchildren, Elizabeth and Joseph Sullivan.  He was loved by his sister, who was always by his side, Ronda Toler and her husband Heath (whom Ronnie considered a brother), of Baileysville; a nephew, Ryan (Candice) Toler, of Baileysville; a niece, Heather (James); and a great-nephew, Levi Lester.
