of Mountain View, AR
October 14, 1957 - July 12, 2021
Ronnie Dale Harness, of Mountain View, was a loving husband, father, and grandfather. He peacefully passed from this world and into the arms of Jesus on July 12, 2021, surrounded by his family, at the age of 63.
He was born on October 14, 1957, at Cross County Hospital in Wynne, Arkansas, to Annabelle and Eugene Harness.
Ronnie is survived by his wife of 37 years, Jamie Lane Harness; his two sons, Peter (Amber) and Jacob (Courteney), his grandsons Tanner and Dexter, and 3 siblings, Bill, Sandra, and Phyllis. He was preceded in death by his father, Eugene Harness, step-father, Charles ''Chuck'' Treece, mother, Annabelle Harness-Treece, and brother, Harold Gene ''Pete'' Harness.
Ronnie spent his life farming and logging but was probably best known for his outstanding ability as a sawyer. He spent many years at various sawmills perfecting his craft. During this time, he made many lifelong friends.
Ronnie was a joy to be around, and his contagious laugh brought joy to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was always willing to help anyone in any way, and selflessly gave his time whenever needed. He loved his family, especially his two grandsons, Dexter and Tanner, who were the light of his life.
Ronnie loved the Lord, and was saved at an early age in a small church in Cherry Valley, Arkansas. As an adult, he knew the importance of leading his family in the way he knew God wanted him to lead them and instilled in them those same values. He attended Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church, a place that he held near and dear to his heart.
Ronnie was loved and respected by many and will be dearly missed by those who knew him.
Visitation is Wednesday, July 14, 2021 from 1:00-2:00 PM at Roller Crouch Chapel in Mountain View, Arkansas. Funeral services will follow the visitation beginning at 2:00 PM with Brother Gary Ragland officiating. Interment is at Harness Cemetery in Oxley, Arkansas.
Pallbearers are Michael Harness, Brock Harness, Shane Harness, Wade Smith, Jason Gammill, and Garrett Mullins.
Roller Crouch Funeral Home in Mountain View, Arkansas is in charge of the arrangements.

I can't think of Ronnie without instantly going back 40 or so years to the old gym and coach Joe Treat. I think Ronnie Harness was the best basketball players i ever saw, at Leslie or any other school that we played against. He had the most silky smooth jump shot of anyone I've ever seen or most of our opponents had ever seen either. I remember one game at Plumerville, at the end of the game we had 58 points and Ronnie scored 50 of them. He was a dandy in every sense of the word. I have always had nothing but the highest regards for Ronnie as he earned them in my book. The mark he leaves is a tall one. I'm proud to say he was my friend and he will be missed.
