John Louis Woodard, Jr.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Louis Woodard, Jr., of DeRidder, LA, a beloved friend who left us on January 27, 2026, at the age of 64. John was born on November 25, 1961, in Louisiana.

Friends are invited to gather for a graveside service at Smyrna Baptist Church Cemetery on February 7, 2026, at 1:00 PM to honor and celebrate John's life. He will be remembered fondly and missed dearly.

In these moments, we remember John for his laughter, kindness, and the many memories he created with those he loved. While he may no longer be with us in body, his spirit will forever remain in our hearts.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of John to Smyrna Baptist Church Cemetery Association.
