Ronnie Wayne Strebeck, 76, passed away February 5, 2026, in Lucas, Texas. He was born on September 7, 1949, in Dallas, Texas, to his loving parents William Dorman Strebeck and Elizabeth (Beaty) Strebeck.
Ronnie graduated from Kimball High School in Oak Cliff and went on to attend a trade school in Dallas, where he gained the skills and knowledge that would shape his lifelong career as a plumber. Known for his strong work ethic and pride in doing things the right way, he built a career rooted in service and reliability.
In the early 1980s, Ronnie worked with the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union before beginning a long and dedicated career with the City of Dallas, where he served faithfully for 20 years. He later continued his commitment to public service with the City of Allen, where he completed his career.
Outside of work, he found joy in the simple things. Ronnie loved tinkering on classic cars, working on and improving his property, and staying busy with projects that kept his hands and mind active. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, often putting others’ needs before his own, and was known by many as someone you could count on.
Ronnie treasured time spent with family and friends and especially cherished moments with his grandchildren, who were a source of immense pride and happiness. His generosity, kindness, and steady presence left a lasting impression on all who knew him, and his legacy of hard work and love for others will be remembered always.
Ronnie is survived by son, Brent Strebeck (Lisa), daughter, Misty A. Strebeck (Cri Rivera), and ex-wife, Debra Strebeck (Bob Burns), all of Allen, Texas; grandchildren, Rob, Elliott, Willow, Penny, Ivey, and Ernie; and a host of other loving family members and friends, who will miss him dearly and fondly cherish his memory.
Ronnie was preceded in death by his parents William and Elizabeth Strebeck, and his sister, Verdna Strebeck.
