Ronald Eugene "Ronnie" Pedro Jr.'s Obituary
Ronald Eugene “Ronnie” Pedro, Jr., age 41, of Loranger, Louisiana, passed away on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. He was born on January 29, 1983, in Metairie, Louisiana.
He is survived by his children, Zaddiin Pedro and Gabriel Pedro; mother, Wilma Olivia Pedro; sisters, Candace Olivia Pedro and Ava Lauren Pedro; loved one, Jessica Kelley; and many extended family members and friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald Eugene Pedro, Sr., and brother, John Hampton Pedro.
Ronnie was an incredibly talented individual. His artistic abilities and musical gifts, especially on the piano, brought joy to everyone around him. Whether he was painting, playing the piano, fishing, playing sports, exercising, or entertaining with his sharp wit and humor, Ronnie had a way of captivating a crowd. He was an accomplished concert pianist and a former professional tennis player. He also attended Northern Kentucky University and graduated from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University Bloomington (IUPUI). He loved spending time with his family, especially fishing with his son Gabe, and his passion for cooking—particularly Cajun cuisine—was something his loved ones always looked forward to. Above all, Ronnie was a family man who adored his mother, sisters, and children, and he had a deep love for God that guided him throughout his life.
While his passing is an immense loss, Ronnie’s family finds comfort in the knowledge that he is now at peace, resting in the arms of Jesus. They are deeply rooted in their faith and are assured that Ronnie is in Heaven, rejoicing in the presence of his Savior. This belief provides them with solace and strength as they face the days ahead.
