It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Everett “Taylor” Aultman, Jr. on February 12th of congestive heart failure at the age of 74. He will be missed for his compassionate understanding of the human condition and his wonderful sense of humor. Never a day passed without him sharing a joke or cartoon. He was born in Murfreesboro, Tn to Everett and Eloise Aultman on March 27, 1950. They shortly moved back to South Carolina where he lived until 1965 when his parents moved to uptown New Orleans right before Hurricane Betsy. He attended Fortier High School graduating in 1968.He then attended Tulane University on a track scholarship majoring in psychology. He attended LSU School of Social Work graduating in 1975. During his high school and college years he was a local track star. He holds the record for most consecutive wins (5) of the Jackson Day Race. He was inducted into the New Orleans Track Club Hall of Fame in 2015. After an injury ended his track days he began to swim and then bicycle. His passion for cycling had him doing week long cycle trips across the US. He was a regular figure on the Mississippi River levee until his heart decided to give up. In 1975 he married his devoted wife Susan (Sue) Defourneaux Aultman . Together they raised their two children, Neal Young Aultman and Jeana Patricia Aultman.
