Ronnie Dale Wolter

Ronnie Dale Wolter, 76, went to be with our Lord on August 2, 2025, in Victoria, Texas. He was born June 12, 1949 in Cuero to Oscar Andrew Wolter and Lee Alice Frances Arndt Borchardt. To say his legacy was great feels too small—his life was one of quiet strength, unwavering love, and deep devotion to his family and his faith. He lived each day with a clear sense of right and wrong, always choosing what was good and true, and constantly striving to be the kind of man Jesus called him to be. We have no doubt that he is now in Heaven, standing tall by His side—with the same strength and spirit he had when his Texas A&I football team won the national championship.
He was the very best Dad, Papaw, friend, and hero anyone could ask for. Humble, loyal, and kind, he was the biggest fan of his kids and grandkids. Whether it was a ball game, an awards ceremony, or “Donuts with Grandpa,” he was there—smiling, cheering, and pouring his heart into the people he loved most. His presence made every moment feel more special.
Ronnie was a true cowboy at heart. He found deep peace and joy in the wide-open spaces of God’s creation—caring for his cattle, walking the land he loved, and making countless treasured memories hunting with his family and friends. He lived the life he had always dreamed of, and watching those dreams unfold was a gift to us all. In building his life with faith and purpose, he helped make our dreams come true too.
His smile, his laugh, his wisdom, and his unshakable love will live on in our hearts forever. He left us too soon, and we miss him more than words can say. We love you, Ronnie—and we always will.
He is survived by his wife of thirty years, Lisa; daughters, Stacie Renee Koplin (Scott) of Houston and Jessica Nicole Hunt (Brian) of Edna; sons, Clayton Christopher Wolter (Scarlett) of Edna and Brion Gregory Nielsen (Deidra) of Goldsboro, NC; brothers, Oscar Andrew Wolter, Jr. (Joann) of Victoria and Randy Wolter (Allison) of Cuero and grandchildren, Lauren and Hunter Wolter of Edna, Abigail Elaine Koplin of Houston, William, Allison, Emilly and Dillon Hunt of Edna, Lyra and Kayle Nielsen of Goldsboro, NC.
