Ronald Joe Gilliland
May 25, 1945 - January 4, 2025

Ronald (Ronnie) Joe Gilliland, 79, of Pryor, Oklahoma, passed away at his home on January 4, 2025. He was born on May 25, 1945, to Frank and Maxine (Johnson) Gilliland, in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. Ronnie served several years in the United States Army as a dedicated staff sergeant and was a Vietnam Veteran. He later worked in the oil field as a frac-truck operator for Dowell Schlumberger. Ronnie enjoyed picking guitars, singing, traveling, camping, and spending time with friends and family. His favorite pastime included watching black-and-white Westerns and beginning each day drinking coffee with his best friends, Tony and DeVon Gourley. Throughout his life, he cherished his time with his seven brothers and sisters, which usually included a lot of friendly banter. Ronnie was a strong, hardworking provider for his family, and would do anything for his children and grandchildren. He will truly be missed by many.
