Foster Tallant

October 6, 1932 — May 8, 2016

Foster Tallant, devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, was summoned by God to His heavenly home on Sunday, May 8, 2016. He was 83 years old.

Foster was born on October 6, 1932 in Daytona Beach, Florida to the late Albert and Myrtle Strickland Tallant. A graduate of Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, he attended Jacksonville State where he played basketball and later joined the United States Navy to serve his country during the Korean Conflict. Foster made a living as a commercial realtor with Fickling and Company for several years before he retired.

In his retirement years, Foster enjoyed boating and playing golf. As a young man, he was fortunate enough to attend the inaugural Daytona 500 race in 1959. Foster was a devoted member of Houston Lake Presbyterian Church and loved his church family. He will be sadly missed by all of his family and friends.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Robin and Steve Hudson.

He leaves his memory behind with his loving wife of 45 years, Nell H. Tallant of Warner Robins; children, Mitchell Tallant (Terri) of Savannah, Mark Tallant (Susan) of Macon, Kris Garner (Chris) of Covington, Georgia, Robert Tallant (Linda) of Wilmington Island, Georgia, and Greg Tallant of Atlanta; grandchildren, Jake Dempsey (Kayla), Sarah Dempsey, and Jessy Tallant; and great-grandson, Kohen Dempsey.
