Ronald “Ronnie” S. Curtis

August 15, 1952 – February 24, 2025

Ronald “Ronnie” Stephen Curtis, a devoted husband, loving father, cherished grandfather, and loyal friend, passed away on February 24, 2025, at the age of 72. Born in Checotah, Oklahoma, he was a longtime resident of Denham Springs, Louisiana, where he built a life rooted in hard work, family, and faith.

Ronnie honorably served in the United States Navy and later dedicated his career to Corporate Mechanical Contractors, where he retired as Service Manager after more than 30 years. A man of many talents, he enjoyed working with his hands, whether fixing or building something, riding his tractor, or spending time outdoors. He was known for his love of movies, collecting an extensive library of DVDs, and found joy in sharing stories with his grandchildren, singing old country songs, and gathering around a bonfire with family and friends. He would challenge anyone to a game of foosball, and was likely one of the best players within many miles.

Above all, Ronnie was a man of deep love and devotion to his late wife, Susan Marie Curtis, whom he affectionately called “Susie Q.” Married on February 14, 1980, they shared a lifetime of love until her passing on June 13, 2011. Now, they are reunited once more in eternity.

He is survived by his loving family & numerous friends: Daughter, LyAnn Romashyna and her husband, Oleksandr Romashyn; LyAnn’s children: Stanley Ware Jr., Dakota Civello, and Aspen Ware. Daughter Holly Cottun and her children, Veda, Jon-Mikal, and William Cottun. Son Clifford Curtis and his former spouse, Melanie Meranta, and their children, Cade, Calli, and Cole Curtis. Mother Barbara Curtis. Sister Linda Curtis. Special friend Barbara Tanskley. Nieces and nephews: Jimmy Curtis, Jr., Jack & Ben LeBlanc, Celeste Curtis, Ally Ashworth, and Christopher Curtis.

He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Susan M. Curtis; his father, Clifford M. Curtis; his brothers, Jimmy Curtis and Tommy Curtis, and his niece Brooke Curtis.

Ronnie will be remembered for his humor, his storytelling, his love of country music, and the way he made those around him feel at home. His legacy of hard work, laughter, and love will live on in the hearts of those who knew him.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7
