He was born July 28, 1958 in Lake Charles, Louisiana to Joyce Simon Marcantel and the late John Ation Marcantel, Sr. John was a truck driver for over 25 years and never had a ticket.

In addition to his father, John was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Orlean and Hazel Marcantel and a brother, James Marcantel.

God saw you getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to ME." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. Arrangements are by Moore's Cabot Funeral Home, (501)843-5816. Please sign the online guestbook at www.moorescabotfuneralhome.com.
