Mr. Tullos, 72, of Pineville, entered eternal rest on Sunday, July 28, 2024, at Ochsner Medical Center, New Orleans, LA.
Danny was born in Alexandria, and he grew up in Jena. He moved to Pineville his Freshman year, where he played football and basketball for Pineville High. Danny graduated from Pineville High School in 1969. He went to work for Midstate Supply and worked there for twenty years. He then went to work for Rapides Parish Sheriff’s Office as a deputy and later became a Dare Officer. He loved working with children in the Dare program and was honored to have such a positive impact on their lives.
He retired after twenty years of faithful service and was now free to enjoy his many hobbies. He loved to fish, hunt, golf, and spend time at the camp. He was an avid hunter, so much so, that he hunted with a bow more than a gun, “to give the deer a chance.” His favorite time to go hunting was when his daughter went with him. Danny coached dixie, high school, and college softball. He loved being a softball coach at all of his schools but, especially Bolton, Tioga High, Pineville High, and Louisiana College. He was a devoted member of His Church in Pineville and enjoyed serving and being a member of Shepherd’s Pie. He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Woodrow and Elweina Tullos; and one brother, Ron Tullos.
Those left to mourn his loss and cherish his memory include his loving wife, Yvette Freeman Tullos of Pineville; one daughter, Jacquelyn Yvonne Tullos (Shelby Ducote); one brother, Jim Tullos; and two grandchildren, Paisle Ducote and Kamree Ducote.
A time of visitation will be held at His Church, Pineville, on Friday, August 2, 2024, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Visitation will resume at the church on Saturday, August 3, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. until time of service.
