Ronald ‘Ronnie’ Poore, Staff, University Facilities – February 4, 2024

Clemson University mourns the death of Ronald “Ronnie” Poore, Energy Plant Operator for Campus Utilities.  He passed away on February 4, 2024. Poore started his Clemson career on August 7, 2009.

“Ronnie was a dedicated and conscientious central energy plant operator who covered many holiday shifts over the years so others wouldn’t have to work,” said Chief Facilities Officer Todd Barnette. “He worked with Facilities for over 14 years and was known for the love and pride he had for his daughter Heather. The Facilities team will miss Ronnie and the stories he always shared about his dog.”

Counseling services are available to faculty and staff through ComPysch, the University’s Employee Assistance Program provider, at 866-365-0813.

Ronald Poore’s obituary will be posted when it becomes available.
