Wilson "Jack" Tassin, 86, a native of Edgard, former resident of Morgan City 
and resident of Abbeville passed away on Friday, October 9, 2015 at Our Lady of 
Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette.

Jack was the most kind, generous, loving and unselfish person anyone has ever 
known. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather that enjoyed every 
minute he spent with his family. Jack loved music, gardening, hunting and 
fishing and never meeting a stranger. Jack could share some of the greatest 
stories from his past when he served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean 
War. He will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

Jack is survived by his three daughters: Jackie Benson of Abbeville, Penny 
Crappell and husband, Gerald of Morgan City and Delaine Henry and husband, Mark 
of Abbeville; one son, Randy Tassin of Abbeville; ten grandchildren: Beth, 
Joseph, Jack, Mark, Casie, Nikki, Kelly, Mark, Maddie and Olivia; ten great 
grandchildren: Jillian, Luke, Alyssa, Zack, Emily, Alex, Morgan, Madison, Colin 
and Nate; one brother, Nelson Tassin of Mandeville and one sister, Adelene 
Melancon of Bayou Vista along with a host of nieces, nephews and extended 
family.

Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Betty Jo Tassin; his parents, Francis 
and Cora Tassin; two children: John C. Sellers "J.C." and Kathryn Sellers; two 
sisters: Mildred Tassin Rios and Eveline Tassin Panvelle.

There will be graveside service on Saturday, October 17, 2015 in the Morgan 
City Cemetery beginning at 12pm. He will be inurned with full military honors 
provided by the East St. Mary Veterans Funeral Squad.
