Ronald Paul Bittner Jr.

Ronald Paul Bittner Jr., age 53, passed away on September 17, 2026, in Epworth, Georgia. Born on April 2, 1973, in Melbourne, Florida, to Ronald Paul Bittner Sr. and Donna Bittner. Ronald was a beloved husband, father, son, brother, and friend.

Ronald lived a life dedicated to his family and his work. As a skilled diesel mechanic employed by The Comtran Group, Ronald exemplified a strong work ethic and a commitment to excellence in his craft. His passion for mechanics was only rivaled by his love for the great outdoors. He found joy in hiking, fishing, boating, and hunting.

Ronald was an awesome dad, and his greatest pride and joy were his two sons, Lane and Jaxson Bittner. His unwavering support and boundless love for them will forever be cherished. He was a loving husband to Lori Bittner and always enjoyed time spent with his family. He especially enjoyed smoking food on the grill.

He is survived by his wife, Lori Bittner, and their two sons, Lane Bradley and Jaxson Tylar Bittner. Ronald is also survived by his father, Ronald Bittner Sr., his mother, Donna Bittner, and his brother, Gerald Bittner.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Steven and Delma Ione Bittner and Elizabeth Ann Hitchcock.
