Ronald Wayne “Ronnie” Lougon Gueydan: It is with deep sadness the family of Ronnie Lougon announce his passing.

He leaves behind a legacy and void that will be felt throughout Louisiana. He was a graduate of Gueydan High School, class of 1969. In his early years Ronnie captured the attention of many as they danced to the sounds of his horn playing abilities. It wasn’t long before he realize the need of leadership in his community. He always had a vision and stayed on the path to achieve the goals he set for the community. Many times against all odds he found himself the last man standing but never gave up. He out worked many, smiled bigger and stayed the course more than most. He began his civic community service in 1989 doing the ground work to begin what is now a home for many - The Gueydan Memorial Guest Home. He was one of the five men that held the position of board of directors. The same year Ronnie became the President of the Gueydan Duck Festival and from there as most folks would say “the rest is history”. His love for the Gueydan Duck Festival is evident in every aspect of the festival. He put his small town of Gueydan on the map. His love for the festival became infectious and built an extended family that was proud to be a part of his vision. During his 24 years as president of the Gueydan Duck Festival he served as president of the Louisiana Fairs and Festival Association growing his extended family even more. He owned his own businesses and provided a grand life for his family full of lasting memories. He and Beverly loved to go camping and fishing and enjoyed LSU football.
