Obituary for Alton Arnold Herring
Funeral services for Alton Arnold Herring will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 9, 2021, at Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, 3255 Mt. Bethel Road Leesville, LA, with Reverends Morris Goins, Huey Haymon, Richard Lacour, and Les Comeaux officiating. Burial will follow in Mt. Bethel Cemetery under the direction of Jeane’s Funeral Service. A visitation will be held at the church on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. until the time of service.
Alton was born July 7, 1935, in Leesville, LA and passed away October 1, 2021, in Katy, TX at the age of 86. For 65 years, he worked in the wholesale sign supply business, and for the last 32 years, he owned Herring Sales Inc. in Houston, TX. He was a longtime member of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church and an avid hunter. He enjoyed hunting turkey, quail, and doves, but hunting deer was his passion. Alton had a larger-than-life personality and left his mark on anyone who met him. He was a well respected gentleman and many sought his advice. Alton could also be the life of the party and loved to tell stories. Once you met him, you never forgot him.
