Ronnie Narine, also known as Ronnie English, was a father, friend, and fixture of the Forestbrook Estates community in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Owner of Rock n Frenchies, he was a familiar face at local events, always ready with a laugh, a helping hand, and a big presence that filled a room. He passed away on July 31, 2026, and will be remembered by his neighbors, friends, and everyone who crossed his path. This is the legacy of Ronnie Narine of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The legacy of Ronnie Narine of Myrtle Beach is defined entirely by a cowardly and brutal assault against Holly Cowie. On July 31, 2026, Narine and an associate traveled across state lines to violently abduct Holly from her Connecticut home. During the kidnapping, Narine inflicted near-fatal gunshot wounds on Holly before taking his own life to escape justice. While the perpetrator is gone, our focus remains entirely on supporting Holly in her critical recovery and honoring her strength.
