Obituaries and Eulogies / R.I.P. - Johnny Tillotson (86)
« Last post by punkinblue9 on Thu 03 Apr 2025 11:29:50 »It is with a broken heart that I write to let you know that the sweetest, kindest man I ever met Johnny Tillotson , left earth for Heaven yesterday. He was my best beloved,
Champion of my realm, Knight of my heart. Someone said, that sometimes right in the middle of an ordinary life you get a fairy tale. The day I met him I got mine. He was funny, generous and kind. A gentleman through and through. He loved and was grateful to his fans, as he once said, they made every dream I ever had
come true. Once again on his behalf I say thank you for that.
Johnny Tillotson's life was marked by extraordinary achievements in the world of music. As a 1960's teen idol, he captured the hearts of fans worldwide with his signature hit, "Poetry In Motion." This song among others, soared to the top of the charts across the globe.
His songwriting prowess was evident in the timeless "It Keeps Right On a Hurtin" a track that resonated so deeply it was recorded by over 112 artists, including legends like Elvis Presley,
Dean Martin, Conway Twitty and Bobby Darin. Johnny's musical journey saw him record numerous albums, selling tens of millions of records worldwide. He was a two time Grammy nominee, a testament to his undeniable talent.
Born April 20th, 1938 in Jacksonville Florida, he winged to Heaven to be with the lord on April 1st, 2025 just a few weeks shy of his 87th Birthday.
He is survived by his wide Nancy of 45 years, his son John and his wife, his step daughter Genevieve and his grandchildren, Nia, Jackson, Georgia and Gwyneth, his brother Dan and sister in law Virginia and various nieces and nephews.
Johnny will be missed every single day for the rest of my life.
He was simply the best.
With all the love I have in my heart for a wonderful man gone too soon from this world.
Nancy Tillotson
