Ronald Robert Schwab

Ronald Robert Schwab, 77, of Batesville, Arkansas, passed away on March 13, 2026. Born on July 2, 1948, in Cleveland, Ohio, to the late William Schwab and Virginia (Akins) Schwab, Ronald lived a life centered on the simple joys that brought him peace and the family he cherished deeply.

He loved fishing and riding his Harley, but found particular satisfaction in working on vehicles—skillfully building, painting, and restoring old cars and trucks. Above all, Ronald treasured his children and grandchildren, loving them more than anything else in his life.

He is survived by his daughters, Rebecca Clem (Mark), Misty Duckworth (Brian), and Sheila Lewallen; grandchildren, Dylan Branch and Brian Branch; and brother, William Schwab (Linda). He was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Mary Heyde.
