Ronald Anthony Lepine

Ronald Anthony Lepine entered into holy rest on November 06, 2026, at the age of 90. He was born on February 13, 1936, in Bridge City, Louisiana, to Clarence and Enola Lepine. The fourth of nine children, Ronald was just six months old when his family moved to Belle Chasse, where he resided for the next 89 years. He was married to the love of his life, June Pitre Lepine, for 69 years.

Ronald was preceded in death by his parents, Clarence and Enola Lepine; his siblings, Earline Naquin, Uella Strickland, Adam Lepine, Janet Lobrano, Eugene Lepine, Harold Lepine, and Karen Erdos; his oldest son, Keith Lepine (Brandy); his daughter-in-law, Angela Lepine (Kyle); and his grandson, Joseph Lepine, (Karl).

He is survived by his beloved wife, June; his sons, Karl, Kirk (Shari), and Kyle; his sister, Linda Phillips; and his beloved niece, Joy. He also leaves behind 12 grandchildren: Josh, Justin (Brittany), Meghean (Stephen), Rusty (Katie), Audrey, Maddie, Seth (Lauren), Jessica (Patrick), Sarah (Shawn), Natalie, Jason (Courtney), and Krystal (Brett); and 17 great-grandchildren: Levi, Marceline, Atticus, Brooks, Collins, Charlie, Frankie, Dominic, Noemi, Payton, Caroline, Cooper, Adelyn, Caden, Luca, Aubrey, and Sam.

Ron proudly served his country in the United States Marine Corps until his honorable discharge in 1959. He worked at Chevron Oronite for 32 years before retiring in 1992. After retirement, he and June traveled across the United States in their motorhome, often accompanied by friends. Together, they visited nearly all 50 states and parts of Canada, while exploring and making memories along the way.

Ronald was a car enthusiast who could often be found tinkering under the hood in his backyard shop. He enjoyed going to the gym and lifting weights well into his 80s, with a passion for bodybuilding that helped earn him one of his nicknames, “Superman.”

A lifelong LSU and Saints football fan, Ron could often be heard muttering his favorite catchphrase, “They deserve to lose!” at the television during games. As a Belle Chasse High School athlete, he helped the baseball team earn their only baseball state championship in 1954. When his four boys were young, he coached each of them in Bantam League football.

At his core, Ron loved his family fiercely. He built a beautiful life for his loved ones and always strove to protect them. He moved through life with tenacity, grit, humility, compassion, and grace. He was a loving son and brother, a devoted husband and father, a doting grandfather and great-grandfather, and a trusted friend. Above all else, he was a great man. He will be missed by many because he was so deeply loved.

May he rest in eternal peace with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses and care team at Serenity Hospice Services for their kindness, compassion, and attentive care.
