Marion "Rion" Joseph Loisel

Marion (Rion) Joseph Loisel passed away on August 27, 2020 surrounded by his family. He was born August 7, 1966 to Patricia and the late Donald Loisel. Rion was an amazing husband, father, brother, and son. He was a paramedic with NOEMS, and East Jefferson Hospital. Rion never met a stranger, loved being around people and was the life of the party. He had a quick wit, loved to banter with others, and always made you laugh. Rion loved to fish and was a diehard Saints fan. He organized one out of state Saints each year. His party of 2, soon turned into over 400. He created a Saints Super Bowl Ring hat to celebrate their championship. Little did he know, people across the country would know who Rion Loisel was, and became known as “the ring hat guy”. His creation brought many strangers together and formed lifetime friendships. His ring is now in the Saints Hall of Fame in the Super Dome. Please visit it and tell his story to others. His family wishes to celebrate his life, rather than mourn. We ask if you do go fishing, cast one out for him. If you are at a party, toast him. If you are at a Saints game, give him a Who Dat. If you were lucky enough to get one of his ring hats, raise it up and give him a shout out. We would like to thank his EMS family, and Ring hat family for all of the wonderful things they have said. He will be deeply missed by his wife, Kelly Riecke Loisel, and daughter Emily (Spencer). He is survived by his mother, Patricia Loisel, sisters; Susan and Barbara, nieces; Olivia, Kaitlyn and Abigail, sister in-law Michelle Riecke Harris (Don). Preceded in death by his father Donald Loisel.
