Mr. Larry Tant passed away on August 18, 2025, at the age of 59.
Mr. Tant was born on February 7, 1966, in Rome Georgia, the son of the late Betty Waddell. Larry spent his entire life in Rockmart, Georgia, where he was an active member of Piedmont Avenue Baptist Church. Larry dedicated 30 years of his career to Norfolk Southern, where he was respected by his coworkers. His commitment to his work was matched only by his passion for the great outdoors. Larry enjoyed hunting, fishing, and four-wheeling, activities that brought him close to the Lord through nature.
In addition to his mother, Larry was preceded in death by his daughter, Cassie Tant. A devoted family man, Larry cherished his role as a husband and grandfather. He is survived by his loving wife, Jacque Tant, and his dear granddaughters, Sophia Pittman and Maddie Pittman. He leaves behind a close-knit family that includes his siblings Anthony Tant, Stacy Brown, Barry Tant, Joe Green, and Scott Waddell. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
