ERROL JAMES TABOR

September 8, 1952 — August 29, 2021
Errol James Tabor of Amelia, LA, passed away in the early hours of August 29, 2021 while “evacu-camping” at Toledo Bend for Hurricane Ida. Born September 8, 1952, he’d have been 69 this month.
A lifelong resident of Amelia, Errol was a “Beouf Cat” through and through. He helped his father run, and then later owned, Pistol’s Grocery in Amelia. He served on numerous boards to serve and protect the community he loved through his life. He loved to hunt, fish, and had a green thumb like no other.
Errol was absolutely fierce about family, especially his grandchildren. With Alexis, Michael and Molly, he proved that even the most hard-headed men could have huge soft spots. In addition to those loves, he is also survived by his wife of nearly 50 years, Deborah; their daughter, Allison and her husband, Alan Kornacki; and his sister, Erica, with husband Brett Duplantis and children Braelyn, Carson, and Colton, aka “Lil Brett”. He is also survived by his “bonus wife” - sister-in-law Freddie Cross Cutrera, her daughter Karmen and her husband Aaron Loupe, and their children Ofelia and Crosby, all of whom he loved like his own.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Wilbur “Pistol” Tabor and Eva Dell Tabor; his sister, Diane; and cousins, Carroll and Gerald Blanchard who were like brothers to him.
He was an active member of Pharr Chapel Methodist in Morgan City, LA. As a baptized child of Christ, Errol is no longer here, but his body will be cremated and laid to rest in the St. Andrew Catholic Cemetery in Amelia. There will be a memorial service announced at a later date, due to Ida and Covid.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to his two church homes, Pharr Chapel Methodist, 517 Federal Ave., Morgan City, LA 70380 and St. Peter Lutheran Church, PO Box 69, Campbell Hill, IL, 62916.
