John Floyd Taylor

John proudly served his country during the Vietnam War in the United States Army as an Auto Mechanic. He later went on to work as an Electrician and retired from the IBEW Local 995 Union. To know John was to know kindness. He was the type of man who would give you the shirt off his back without a second thought and somehow make you laugh while doing it. A proud supporter of LSU, John rarely missed a game, cheering passionately from his favorite spot in front of the TV. In his younger years, he found the same excitement at the bowling alley. John had a deep appreciation for humor. Funny movies were his go-to escape, and he loved sharing his favorites with anyone willing to watch. He had a gift for storytelling, turning everyday moments into tales that brought laughter to everyone who heard them. Above all, John was a true family man that always put his family first. John Floyd Taylor leaves behind a legacy of kindness, laughter, and love. He will be deeply missed, but his spirit will continue to live on in the stories he told, the smiles he created, and the countless lives he touched.
