It is with heavy hearts yet grateful spirits that we announce the passing of Ronald Gene Etienne Sr., who departed this life at the age of 68. A devoted and loving father of seven, Ronald was known for his big heart, his endless humor, and his caring spirit that touched everyone he met.

He was the proud father of daughters Lakeisha Etienne, Agnes Etienne Poullard, Tabatha Etienne, Dondra Etienne, and Ashley Etienne, and sons Ronald Etienne Jr. , Joseph Etienne, and Gabriel. His love and devotion to his children were unwavering, and his legacy of kindness, laughter, and strength will live on through them.

Ronald was preceded in life by his beloved parents, Clayoula Etienne and Adam Etienne, who instilled in him the values of faith, family, and perseverance. He now reunites with them in eternal peace.

He also leaves to cherish his memory a host of grandchildren, one great-grandchild, nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who were blessed to know and love him.

As we celebrate Ronald's homegoing, we are reminded of the words from Scripture:

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."

— 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Though we grieve his absence, we find comfort and peace knowing that Ronald completed his earthly journey with courage, faith, and abundant love. Ronald Gene Etienne Sr. will forever be missed, cherished, and remembered by all who knew him.
