Ronald Alan Clark, 61, of Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, died on December 7, 2020, from a gunshot wound. He was a songwriter and carpenter known for rustic furniture and a love of bluegrass and folk music, and is survived by three children and several grandchildren.

Whitaker reportedly called deputies after the shooting, was found at the scene and arrested without bond; she was charged with murder. The Surry County Sheriff’s Office described the investigation as ongoing and said updates would be provided later.

Ronald’s family and community remember him for his music and woodworking. Does anyone have information about Ronald, his work, or the events on Nichols Road that day?
