Johnny was born on May 16, 1951 in Loreauville, LA to the late Noah James and Marie Bourque Tabor, Sr. and was the youngest of eight children.
Johnny was a welder/fitter by trade and known by all as a hard worker and an avid Do-It- Yourselfer. He will be remembered by his willingness to help others and his love for animals. He was a very talented man with an affinity for several hobbies that include: fishing, hunting, woodworking, cabinetry making, and metal work.
Spending time with his family was definitely the most precious times in his life. Though this is a difficult time, our family is taking refuge in knowing that our mother and father are happily reunited in their celestial home.
