Talan Phillip Tolliver, age 15, of Gregory, MI, passed away at home on May 26, 2021 after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He was born in Howell, MI on February 25, 2006, son of Jason A. and Christina L. (Brown) Tolliver.
To know Talan was to love him, and he was loved by all. His favorite place was Angels’ Perch in Tennessee, followed closely by Sunday Fundays spent at Uncle Phil’s swimming pool. He was a family guy and an “old soul,” who enjoyed music of all kinds, football, hoops, MMA, baseball, and hunting and fishing. Talan delighted in consuming large amounts of tacos and nachos. He treasured his cat, Mitsu, and his dog, Lucy.
Talan is survived by his parents, Jason and Christina; his siblings, Cody Tolliver and Cynthia Tolliver; his grandparents, Phillip and Margo Tolliver, Uncle Phil and Aunt Jenn Tolliver, and his Uncle Steve and Aunt Dianna Brownridge; and his cousins, Hannah, Nicolas, Sophia, Bonny, Donald, and Emily. He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Don and Joan Brown.
A gathering of friends and family will occur on Friday, June 4, 2021, 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m., at Stockbridge High School in Stockbridge, MI, with a memorial service scheduled at 1:00 p.m. Funeral directors are following current Michigan Department of Health and Human Services guidelines for COVID-19; those attending will be instructed accordingly. Expressions of sympathy in memory of Talan may be made to the Stockbridge Athletics Memorial Scholarship fund. Arrangements by Staffan-Mitchell Funeral Home, Chelsea, MI.
