Ronald Batts

Ronald "Ron" Eugene Batts, a resident of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, passed away on June 20, 2021 at the age of 70 in his home, after a brave battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones. His battle with cancer in recent years showed his courage in facing life's challenges with a smile.  Ron came out a hero and stayed strong until the end.

He is also survived by his mother, Aline, his sister Sandy and husband Mark Burton, nephew Mark Burton Jr. and numerous cousins and extended family. He  was preceded in death by his father, Eugene.

Ron was born in Baton Rouge to Eugene and Aline Lockhart Batts. He graduated from Baton Rouge High School and attended Nichols State University. He was a self-employed mortgage broker for over 40 years. He never missed his Saturday morning golf games and was a  super fan of LSU & Saints football. He was known for his quick wit and kind, compassionate spirit.

A visitation will be held on Friday, June 25, 2021 from 11:00 AM until memorial services at 1:00 PM at Resthaven Funeral Home on Jefferson Highway.
