Ronan Jeannotte, born November 24th, 2003, in Maynard Massachusetts, unfortunately succumbed to his battle with addiction on September 4th, 2021. He was only 17 years old.
Ronan was, and will continue to be, one of the most driven and kind people around in the eyes of those who knew him. He was a special and unique soul with more talent in the tip of his pinky than many people have throughout their whole body.
Ronan had a natural gift for music. He played guitar, bass, piano, drums, and he sang. He was also a naturally gifted producer. He founded his own recording studio out of his basement, which he dubbed "RJ Beats." He collaborated with so many musicians and made magic with them through his passion and gift. I always thought of him as somewhat of an underappreciated sevant when it came to music. His stage presence was also unrivaled by any other performer I've ever seen; and I've been to 19 concerts. He was truly incredible.
Seeing Ronan's smile would instantly make your day better. The smug, sarcastic grin that he always wore was such a big part of his personality. His attitude was always able to make you smile, laugh, or just feel okay. Even when you weren't okay.
Ronan is survived by many beloved friends and family members, but the most notable of these people are his mother, Allison, his father, Seth, and his younger sister, Abby.
Please help us and donate in his memory if you can. The proceeds will be going to different charities and non-profits to try and advocate in Ronan's name, so tragedies such as these start to dwindle. Addiction is very real. It has taken and will continue to take too many innocent lives. A small donation can go a long way when enough people are able to contribute. If you cannot donate, please share this page in the hopes of someone seeing it that can.
His family is in our thoughts and prayers, and Ronan will live on forever in his music. Thank you.
