Johnny

Lattin

Johnny Lattin, age 72, passed away on Tuesday, November 10, 2026.

Johnny was a hardworking man who dedicated more than 25 years of his life to Pat Salmon & Sons, Inc., based in North Little Rock, Arkansas, where he worked as a professional truck driver until his retirement. Throughout his career, he traveled countless miles across the United States behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler. His wife, Lenora “Ann” Lattin, joined him on some of his travels, sharing memories and experiences along the way.

As Ann neared the end of her life, Johnny transitioned from cross-country trucking to local routes transporting mail under contract for the United States Postal Service. This allowed him to continue his career while returning home each night to be with her.

Johnny was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lenora “Ann” Lattin; his parents, Samuel Deaton Lattin and Annie Lois Jones Lattin; his brothers, James Franklin Lattin, Robert “Bobby” Lattin, James “Leslie” Lattin, and Charlie “Dickie” Lattin; and his sisters, Annie Lois Lattin, Ruthie Blake, Rachael White, Josephine Wear, and Shirley Glaze.

He is survived by his sisters, Louise Davis (Kenny, deceased) and Lyndia Baker (Lloyd); and his brothers, Samuel Lattin (Rosemary), Ronnie Lattin (Kaye), Freddie Lattin (Ola), and Billy Lattin. He also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will cherish his memory.

Johnny’s life was marked by hard work, dedication, and the many miles he traveled across the USA. His memory will live on through the stories, experiences, and memories shared by those who knew and loved him.
