Michael “Pepper” John Tassin was a business owner and operator for many years in Westwego, Louisiana. He was a hard worker who was well respected, and began working with his father at a young age.
To most, Michael was known as a lifetime fisherman, but he was also a fisher of men. He always ministered to his fellow man and was greatly involved in his church community. Michael taught many bible studies and many Sunday School lessons. He was a youth leader that led many active ministers into their ministry today and was a lifelong servant to those that were his Pastor. Michael was a family man who loved greatly, was a friend to all and could strike a conversation with anyone. Michael had a strong love for nature and enjoyed the outdoors at every chance he had. He will be greatly missed by his wife, children and grandchildren, which he adored.
