John Joseph Guarisco Jr, 70, a resident of Morgan City, passed away Thursday, 
October 22, 2015 in his home.

He was born on September 5, 1945 in Morgan City, the son of John Joseph 
Guarisco Sr and Jennie Baglio Guarisco.

Johnny was an avid outdoorsman and enjoyed hunting and fishing in his younger 
life. Once his two sons were of age, he shared these passions with them. At one 
time, he was active with the M. C. Recreation Department and coached both sons 
and numerous other boys, during Dixie Youth Baseball and remained involved with 
the department for some years after. 
Later in life, his interest turned toward the Civil War and exploring numerous 
sites he read about in his many history books he acquired over the years. He 
searched for relics and items from the war with his trusty metal detector 
throughout Southern Louisiana with friends whom had the same enthusiasm for 
that tremendous event. 
Also during that time, Destin became his favorite travel destination with his 
wife, sons, and grandchildren spending numerous hours on the white sands there. 

With his passing, his entire family loses one of the greatest men they shared 
life with, a man who put his family first, and a man whom they could always 
count on. He will dearly be missed by his family, as well as, countless friends 
and acquaintances he has made throughout his entire life.

John will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by his two sons, Stephen M. 
Guarisco and companion Brandy Oncale of Morgan City, Mark J. Guarisco and wife 
Laura of Daphne, Al; four grandchildren, Kasie L. Guarisco, Sawyer E. Guarisco, 
Calleigh R. Guarisco, Jasper J. Guarisco; one brother, Leonard J. Guarisco and 
wife Rose of Morgan City; one sister, Rosetta Guarisco Teague of Bryan, Tx; and 
numerous nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Alice Sellers Guarisco; parents, John 
Joseph Guarisco Sr and Jennie Baglio Guarisco; and brother in law, Carl "Bud" 
Teague.

Visitation will be held Monday, October 26, 2015 at Twin City Funeral Home from 
5PM until 9PM and resume Tuesday, October 27, 2015 from 9AM until 10:30AM. A 
Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Tuesday, October 27, 2015 at Sacred 
Heart Catholic Church at 11AM. 

John will be laid to rest in Morgan City Cemetery following Mass.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in 
his memory.
