Ronald Brent Fauscette
April 23, 1947 — April 27, 2026

Ronald Brent Fauscette, 79, passed away peacefully at his son's home in Pensacola, Florida on April 27, 2026.

Born on April 23, 1947, in Cleveland, Tennessee, Ron was the kind of man who built things — not just with his hands, but with his life. A proud graduate of North Whitfield High School, class of 1965, he went on to become a skilled union carpenter out of Hall 74. His work touched some of the region's most recognizable landmarks, including the Ocoee Flume. He took immense pride in his craft and the projects he helped bring to life.

Ron had a deep love for fishing and woodworking — always creating something, whether it was a piece of furniture, a repair for a neighbor, or a gift for someone he loved. But above all else, it was his family that brought him the greatest joy. He lived to see his kids smile, and he never missed a chance to remind them of his favorite philosophy:

"Sit back and enjoy the ride."

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mildred and JT Fauscette of Cohutta, Georgia, and his son-in-law, Eddie Brooker.

He is survived by his children: Tanya Brooker, Jennifer Fauscette and Sterling Smith, Teresa and Rodney Vice, and Ryan Fauscette and Kateryna Ivashchuk; his grandsons, Blake Brooker and Ben Brooker; his sister, Carmen Fergason; a nephew, a niece; and several cousins who will all miss him dearly.

In keeping with his wishes, Ron will be cremated. A memorial celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you take a moment to sit back, enjoy the ride, and share a smile with someone you love — just the way Ron would have wanted it
