Kenneth William LaRose

He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 4, 1943, son of the late William F. LaRose and Joyce Giglio LaRose. He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years, Barbara Grayson LaRose, and his children, Matthew LaRose, Lenny Moecklin (Lisa), Leslie LaRose and Linda Moecklin Comer (Marty). He is also survived by his five grandchildren whom he adored, Taylor Comer, Rebekah Comer, Madeline Comer, Bryce Moecklin and Cole Moecklin. Further, he is survived by his younger brother Keith LaRose and numerous cousins and extended family.

Ken was a graduate of Cor Jesu High School and received his college degree from Loyola University. Upon graduation he began a distinguished 40 plus year career in banking with National American Bank, Bank of New Orleans, Whitney Bank and other banking institutions in Texas.

In his later life, his true joys were his family, his dog, tending to his plants, attending church and enjoying time on the beach in Destin, Florida. He had a great sense of humor and his laugh was infectious. He was a loyal friend and a loving husband and father. He will be truly missed.

A private viewing and interment service will be held on Friday, May 1, 2020, just three days short of his 77th birthday, at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home and Cemeteries.

In lieu of flowers, a donation to a charity of your choice can be made in Ken’s honor.
