Memorial services for Ronnie "RB" Bixler, 72, of Wisner, will be 2 PM Friday, December 13, 2019, at Souled Out Ministries Barn Church with Rev. Scott Fletcher officiating under the direction of Gill First National Funeral Home.
RB was born February 1, 1947, to the union of William Glen Bixler and Lucille Marie McCrady Bixler and passed from this life on December 8, 2019, at Franklin Medical Center in Winnsboro.
RB, as he liked to be called, was a rancher, farmer, cattlemen, horseman, and rodeo producer. He turned a lot of dirt, harvested many of soybeans, walked in high cotton, cut a many of steer, assembled some fine bucking stock, broke a lot of rank horses, and had been storied to have bred the finest rabbit hunting beagles the swamps of LA have ever seen. He had a bucking bull of the year and bucking horse of the year amongst the rodeo stock he harbored during his rodeo production years. He always had a few ol' dogs saddled up with him in his pickup truck when he would slowly saunter down Highway 15... North or South ! He hugged the babies, kissed the ladies, and loved his horses and old dogs. He had survived a number of cowboy injuries, a knee replacement, two hip replacements, seizures, a brain aneurysm, a questionable number of broken bones, two gun shot wounds, a nasty fight when some roughneck kicked his dog (No one kicked RB's dog without a fight), and 3 marriages.
He is preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Billy Bixler.
Survivors left to cherish his memory include one son, Brad Bixler and wife Denise of Richmond Hill, GA, two grandchildren: Jackson Bixler and Laurel Bixler; one sister, Joyce Browder of Baton Rouge, nieces and nephew: Rhonda Weaks Campbell, Valarie Weaks Gilmore and Len Weaks; several other nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews and a host of friends.
