Ronald Arthur Kirsch

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Ron grew up Uptown and attended DeLaSalle High School, where he developed a lifelong love of basketball. He later attended Louisiana State University, where he played basketball and remained a devoted LSU fan for the rest of his life.

Ron was a loyal and dependable son and a devoted father and grandfather. He was everything LSU, proudly supporting the Tigers and rarely missing an opportunity to follow his team. He also had a great love for golf, spending many happy hours on the course with friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Maclain and Luella Kirsch; his sister, Geraldine Bostick; and his niece, Deborah Guthrie.

He is survived by his daughters, Natalie Kirsch Hooks (Neal) and Tara Kirsch Gervais (Chad); his beloved grandsons, Landon Smith and Grey Gervais; his sister, Carol Montgomery; and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends. The family would like to extend special gratitude to his niece, Gina Wayne Matthews, whose care and support meant so much during a time when it was needed most.

Ron will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend services at Lake Lawn Metairie Funeral Home, 5100 Pontchartrain Blvd. New Orleans, LA on Monday, March 9, 2026. Visitation will be from 10am until the Memorial Mass begins at 12pm. Graveside will be held privately at a later date.
