John Henry Latour was born Oct. 18, 1938, in Maple Lake to Hubert and Viola (Rasset) Latour. Growing up, he farmed alongside his dad and brothers; later he owned and operated his own septic business. John served his country in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War, serving in Vietnam and Thailand.
John loved life and had the best life stories to share. He never forgot a name and could remember every detail about a person that he had spoken with. John enjoyed fishing and hunting and got outside whenever he had a chance. He loved animals, especially dogs and horses. John was able to share a life of love with his companion and wife, Anna; and together they made a home and raised their daughter, Danielle. 
He is survived by his wife, Anna Ryan, of South Haven; daughter, Danielle (special friend, Jason Luke), of Waite Park; sisters and brothers, Bernice Zumbusch, of the Twin Cities, Maurice “Butch” (Ione), of Annandale, Russell, of Annandale, Joanne (Jerald) Cordell, of Annandale, and Mary (Norman) Shoberg, of Annandale. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Cletus; and brother-in-law, Douglas Zumbusch.
Urn bearers will be Michele Krolczyk, Patrick Cordell and Justin Shoberg. Krista Elsenpeter-Tarbox and Sarah Goelz will provide the music for the service. Arrangements are entrusted with Dingmann Funeral Care Burial & Cremation Services of Annandale.
