Gravesite of a Simple Man.. Late Lead Singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd Ronnie Van Zant 1948-1977

“In 1977, emotions were high and decisions had to be made quickly, so we laid Ronnie to rest in Orange Park,” she said. “A few years later, some crazies broke into his crypt and tried to steal his body. Again, emotions were high and decisions had to be made quickly.” “He was moved to Riverside Memorial Cemetery and was buried. Melody and I were never happy with this spot,” Judy Van Zant continued. “After a great deal of time and thought we decided on a quiet, peaceful spot under a big oak tree overlooking a small lake.” #ronnievanzant #lynrdsknyrd #gravesite
