Ronnie worked for Houma Shipbuilders, Delta/Chromalloy, then Gulf Island Fabrication. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and brother. He loved his family and friends and would brag about his grandchildren's accomplishments to just about anyone. Ronnie was known by all for kindness, compassion, and always just being a good man. He never met a stranger and would help anyone in need without hesitation. Ronnie cared for animals his entire life. There was never a moment there wasn’t pets in his house and yard. He raised various birds and Australian Shepherds, always having his favorite Aussie, Katie Lou by his side. His legacy will live on through all those who were so blessed to know him.

Due to the world-wide pandemic, there will be no public services. Family and close friends are invited to leave their condolences and share memories of Mr. Ronald Bergeron on our guest book for the family to read.
