June 16, 2021 – January 13, 2021
Mr. Thomas Bryant, age 82, was born June 16, 1938, in Jonesboro, LA, and passed to his eternal reward on January 13, 2021, in Zachary, LA. “Poppa Tim” as he was affectionately known by those who loved him best, was a career hospital corpsman in the Navy.
He saw the world and enjoyed regaling his family with the many colorful adventures he experienced throughout his years of service. He was a self-taught barber, mechanic and horticulturist. This jack-of-all trades never minded imparting unsolicited advice upon anyone within ear shot, but you can guarantee that it would be full of wisdom and good intentions. Tim was always the first to lend a helping hand or loan a few dollars when times were hard. He was eccentric and strong and brave and crazy and smart and so, so good to all who knew him.
Tim was preceded in death by his parents, Louie Ellis Bryant, Sr. and Evie Brown Bryant; his brothers, Louie “L.E.” Bryant, Jr. and Troy Wayne Bryant; his son, Donald Wayne Bryant; and his beautiful wife, Caroline “Dianne” Bryant.
Left to cherish his memory is his sister, Sarah Bryant Culpepper; son, Timothy “Joe” Bryant; step daughters, Angie Johnston and husband Dan, Sherri Lloyd and husband Josh; grandchildren, Zachary Bryant, Angie Bryant and her children Sawyer and Avery, Tempest Brymer and husband Barry, Larry Ponder and wife Heather, Adam Ponder and wife Karyn, Amanda Rowley and husband Matt, Ashley Tisdale and husband Jeremy, Amber Williams and husband Michael, Alayna Sanders and husband Travis; as well a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Ms. Juanita Honeycutt, age 88 of Bunkie, gained her heavenly reward on Saturday, January 30, 2021. Juanita was a first rate mother, grandmother and was known by most as “Mother Nature”. She was head of the beautification crew for Angola Corrections. Her thumb was not green, her whole hand was. She knew every flower and every plant and could tell you exactly what a plant was just by a slight description. If she stood quietly in a yard she was planning a landscape and she could plan and arrange the most beautiful landscapes. To know her was to love her and when she met you, you knew she loved you too. She will be lovingly remembered as the #1 mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
