DON TATUM

Don Tatum, 73, entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on 
Wednesday, December 2, 2015. He was born in Farmerville, LA on January 11, 
1942. He was preceded in death by his parents William Thomas and Thelma Tatum.

Don was a loving father and husband who loved God first and his family second. 
He was a member of Parkhills Baptist Church. He touched many people's lives 
with God's love and set a great example of a Godly man to his family and 
friends. He taught Sunday School and was a deacon in his church for many years. 
He was an engineer who served in several executive positions in the paper 
industry.

He loved spending time with his family, running, watching the San Antonio 
Spurs, playing games and cards, as well as having close friends over for a nice 
meal. He always put others first and desired to make a difference in their 
lives.

Don is survived by his loving wife of 53 years Nancy Smith Tatum, his children: 
Brian Tatum (Melissa), Kevin Tatum (Christy), and Donna Tatum Johnson 
(Jerromy), and his grandchildren: Kyle, Jamie Lynne, Nick, Dylan, Ryan, Chase 
(Chrysta), and Taylor (Catherine), great grandson Brooks, and brothers: James 
Tatum and Ken Tatum.
