Ronnie Noe was born June 14, 1954, in Ponca, Nebraska, to Verl and Evelyn (Ebmeier) Noe. He grew up on the family farm in Laurel, Nebraska. At age 16, he managed the farm and later took over the operations. Ronnie farmed his whole life in Laurel and took great pride in raising livestock. He married Molly Gukeisen on August 21, 2004, in Concord, Nebraska. They continued living on the farm until 2021 when they moved to Yankton, South Dakota.

Ronnie was a faithful hardworking man, who was always praying and praising the Lord. He was a devoted husband, father, brother and uncle. His children were everything to him and he loved spending time with them, fishing, playing board games or going on vacation. He enjoyed hunting and taking motorcycle trips all over the United States as well as Canada on his way to Alaska. He never knew a stranger, would talk to anyone and loved attending family reunions. 

Survivors include his wife, Molly Noe of Yankton, South Dakota; two children: Hailey and Jacob of Yankton; two sisters: Doreen (Dale) Holcomb of Volin, South Dakota and LaDonna (Russell) Sundahl of Laurel, Nebraska and many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
