Uncle Tippy you just don´t understand How much I miss you. You have carried our whole family on your back. I understand that God needed you more, but if I would have known that the last time you called me to come in get my seafood was going to be the last day I was gonna hear, hug or kiss your cheek I would have stayed longer by your side. I´m so thankful you done what you done for me and my siblings I knew if I couldn´t count on anyone else I knew I could always count on you!!! Remember that...
Tashelle Irons your God Daughter!!

Obituary
Gerald's Obituary
IRON
Mr. Gerald “Tippy” Iron was born on July 17, 1967 in Avondale, LA and was called home from labor to the reward of peace in eternity on Wednesday, April 1, 2020. Growing up, Tippy found an outlet in sports. He was a gifted athlete, who won a weight lifting title, skillfully played basketball, and shined at football at L.W. Higgins High School in Marrero, LA. One of Tippy’s most cherished and memorable assets was his giving heart, which was that of pure gold. Nothing he owned was ever too precious to share with anyone else. Tippy was a gifted entrepreneur, self-employed as an electrician. As God shined light into the world through him, Tippy reciprocated his blessings through working diligently for his patrons. He worked near and far sharing his electrical talent and skill with the world. He aided in the restoration of power for the masses in several places, including Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. Tippy dedicated his life to serving God. He was incredibly witty and enjoyed nothing more than bringing a smile to the faces of everyone he met. No one was a stranger to Tippy. He was known by many as “Tippy T”. He took pride in hosting “Tippy T’s Annual Good Friday Crawfish Boil” each year. His legacy will live on through all he has influenced, and he will be greatly missed by everyone who loved him. Husband of the late Melissa Harris. Son of the late Gladys Irons Jones and James Jones. He leaves behind to cherish his memory and legacy, four Step Children, Dominic, Darrell, Warren, Demetrius. Brother of Cheryl Thomas, Marie Trepagnier, Gregory Irons, Gladys Irons, Darlene Irons, Denise Love (Alonzo), Nancy Irons, Leonard Irons and the late Herman Michael Thomas and a host of nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, an aunt, cousins, and many friends.
