Tayvon Markel Peterson began life began on July 21, 2009. He was the oldest sibling with a little brother, Kegan Kardai Peterson. He was born in Leesville, Lousisana, to the proud parent of Tameka Peterson and was raised with the help of proud grandparents, John and Beverly Cole. Tayvon attended school at Leesville Jr. High and was a member of Johnson Temple Church of God in Christ under the Leadership of Pastor Superintendent Maurice Johnson.

At an early age up to the age of 14, he participated in all the activities at the church, Sunshine band, Easter programs and was getting ready to assist in the audio-visual ministry with Elder Roy Mosby. On his last Sunday in church, he went to the altar for prayer and was anointed with oil, and the next day, February 12, 2024, God chose to call him home.

Tayvon was a young man of few words but full of life when you had moments to sit and talk with him. He lived a quiet life with such a humble spirit. He never complained about anything. He loved his phone listening to his videos. He was a very smart and sweet boy and would do anything you asked him to do. He had an infectious laughter that was out of this world.

Tayvon is preceded in death by his grandmother, Louise Zeno Perine; great grandmother, Dorthy Mae Zeno, and PaPa John Lee Cole Sr. He is survived by his mother, Tameka Peterson; brother, Kegan Kardai Peterson; uncle, Marlow Zeno; and a host of cousins of other family and friends.

Funeral services are planned for 2 o’clock on February 24, 2024, at Johnson Temple C.O.G.I.C. in Leesville under the direction of Labby Memorial Funeral Home.
