Ronny Carroll Haisty

It is with profound sadness and deep appreciation for a life well-lived that we announce the peaceful passing of Ronny Carroll Haisty on May 29, 2026, as he gently slipped into the loving arms of our Lord. Born on November 7, 1943, in West Monroe, Louisiana, Ronny was a beacon of love, wisdom, and humor throughout his 82 years. The son of the late John Byron Haisty and Emma Lou Phillips Haisty, Ronny was predeceased by his cherished wife, Mary Yvonne Ballew Haisty, with whom he shared 47 beautiful years of marriage. Their union began on July 28, 1963, and was blessed with three children. Ronny is survived by his daughter Tammy Carole Haisty Ford and husband Terry Ford, and their children Stacy Simpson, Amy Rey, Amanda Sweet, and Lindsay Simpson, survived by his son Ronny Carroll Haisty, Jr. and his wife Melissa Baines Haisty, and their children Jessica Bridges and Jacob Haisty, and survived by his daughter Natalie Tenille Haisty Tipton, and her children Stevon Tipton, Jr., Hannah Tipton, Emma Tipton, and Waylon Tipton. All together, Ronny’s legacy will continue through his 10 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild, each of whom carry forward the lessons and love imparted by their grandfather. Ronny graduated from West Monroe High School in 1963. His professional career was marked by dedication, beginning at District 05 of the Louisiana Department of Transportation. For 30 years, Ronny’s growth into engineering design at the department laid the groundwork for a fulfilling career. He retired in 1993 and his passion for work and exploration saw him traverse America’s beautiful landscapes as a tractor-trailer truck driver for 2 years. After his travels, Ronny returned to engineering, contributing his skills to S. E. Huey Co. in Monroe, LA, for 8 years. In 2003, he achieved a crowning milestone founding RCH Company, an Engineering/Land Surveying firm with his son, Ronny Jr., in West Monroe, LA. His 63-year career stands as a testament to his relentless pursuit of excellence and commitment to family. Ronny’s life was as rich in leisure as it was in labor. A gifted musician, he found joy in all forms of music, whether playing piano in his living room, lending his talent to weddings, or strumming a guitar during family beach getaways. His love for gardening was a metaphor for his nurturing nature, tending to plants as he did to relationships with family and friends—with care and patience. Known for his quick wit and ready humor, Ronny possessed a unique ability to lighten any mood. His wisdom and kindness were ever-present, offering solace and advice to those in need. A man of remarkable talents, he was a fixer of both things and spirits, always willing to listen and lend a hand. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Murray and the medical team at Glenwood ICU for their professionalism and compassionate care during Ronny’s final days. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your local place of worship in Ronny’s honor, reflecting his deep faith and commitment to community.
