John Ronald "Chink" Romero

John Ronald “Chink” Romero entered into eternal peace on Saturday, June 27, 2020 surrounded by his adoring family. Beloved husband of 60 years of the late Barbara Babin Romero - his love for her was great and we will take comfort in that he will now be reunited with her in his Savior’s arms. John’s love and appreciation for his daughters and their families was deep and always expressed. He will be missed and cherished forever by us - Kim R. Remy (John), Wendy R. Parria (Mark) and Rhonda R. Breaux (Mike). Proud grandfather of Adrienne Remy Clements (Chad), Jordan Remy, Mark Parria, Jr. (Stephanie), Ashley Parria Bourgeois (Chad), Jozie Bonner, Ehren Breaux (Annalise) and Lezli Breaux Hudson (Cody). Great grandfather of Hunter Parria and Hazel Hudson. Brother of the late Owen Romero. He was born on February 9, 1935 to the late John I. Romero and Veda Baker Romero. John was a lifelong Catholic, avid sports fan, retiree of Consolidated Electric, formerly I.C. Electric with over 30 years of service, and parishioner/usher of St. Rosalie Catholic Church. He was also a proud graduate of Holy Name of Mary where he was a star football player with the nickname of “Little Greyhound”. John served his country as a member of the Army National Guard of Louisiana and a reserve of the Army. Over his lifetime John’s easy-going nature and quick wit amassed many loyal friends - he always had a joke and a smile. He is so greatly missed already!
