On Saturday, May 1, 2021, Ronald “Ronnie” Stephen Martin, Sr. peacefully passed away at the age of 86, surrounded by his family. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was married to the love of his life, Marlene Rose Guttierrez, for 59 years.
Ronnie loved baseball and enjoyed his time as pitcher for the Humbugs. He was the kind of person who never met a stranger and was loved by everyone who met him. He had a smile that could light up a room. He loved his family with everything he had and enjoyed spending time with his children and grandchildren. Ronnie was an avid LSU and Saints fan and enjoyed watching the games.
He is survived by his wife Marlene, his sons Ronald Martin Jr. (Melanie) and Donald Martin, Sr. (Sherry), his daughters Darlene Hingle (Chet), Kimberly Mayeux (Mark) and Stacey Martin (Sean), his sister Linda Sabathier (John), his brother Steve Sambola (Joyce), 13 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren.
Per Ronnie’s request, we invite all family and friends to put on your LSU gear and join us in a celebration of his life on Sunday, May 16, 2021, at Abby Rose, 2900 Oak Ridge Blvd, Violet, LA, from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
