He put his arms around him and whispered, “Come and rest.” The weary hours, the days of pain, and the sleepless nights have passed. The ever hard worker, worn out frame found sweet rest at last. A native of Lettsworth, LA, John Tolliver, Sr., was born on March 21, 1949 to the late John B. and the late Juliette Hall Tolliver. He was the third of eleven children born to this union. John passed peacefully from this life to be with his heavenly father on May 29, 2019 surrounded by his loving family. He and his wife (Annie Webb Tolliver) of 48 years brought forth three children (John, Craig, and the late Antoinette). John was baptized on April 11, 2009 at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church by the late Father Michael P. Jaques S.S.E.V.F. He enjoyed going to mass on Saturday afternoons accompanied by his loving wife. He enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved his family and enjoyed his grandkids. John received his education at Batchelor High School in Batchelor LA. Depending on the occasion, he was affectionately referred to by many different names. His loving wife Annie called him Tolliver or Mr. T. His sons and grandson referred to him as Pops.
