John Edwin Taaning

2024 and I decided to look up John Taaning and saw that he passed in 2015. I lived with John when I was working for the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office in 1985. I lived with John for about 8 months and we became really good friends. John would not accept rent payments from me and always had a pot of game stew on the stove for us to feast on. He was a great story teller and very knowledgeable man. He was an adventurer, Explorer, and avid Outdoorsman. He seemed iconic, like a Teddy...

The last time I saw Mr Taaning was at Cassandra's wedding. We laughed so much and had a wonderful dance together. Very good dancer. May you rest in peace.

Sorry to hear of Mr. Tanning's passing. I remember the BBQs and swimming at your place as a kid. Most recently I enjoyed chatting when he would ride MTA. It was a local history lesson, pointing out what used to be where and who used to be who. Always engaging and entertaining.

We are so sorry to hear of John's passing.
Rest in peace, John!
