John Daniel Estis was born in New Iberia, Louisiana on October 5, 1976, to Johnny and Debbie Turner Estis. He worked as a salesman for Estis Well Service, LLC, and Estis Scrap and Recycling, LLC. He was an avid football fan, but was especially partial to LSU football. He enjoyed watching movies and going out to dinner with his brother, Dusty. John was a great cook, and liked to grill, BBQ, and spend time with his family. He also loved fishing and hunting, but his biggest passion in life was his son, Jacob, who was his whole world. He will be deeply missed.

John is survived by a son, Jacob Daniel Estis, who was his pride and joy (and his mother, Nicole Suire); his parents, Johnny and Debbie Estis; brother, Dusty Estis; sister, Jenna Estis LeBlanc (Braxton); nieces and nephews, Lane Estis (who was also his godchild), Londyn and Lakelyn Bonin (and their mother, Shauna Estis), Jensen, Baylor, Brecklynn and Jentry LeBlanc; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

John was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, C.B. and Nina Stephens Turner; and his paternal grandparents, W.L. and Mattie Ackal Estis.

Pallbearers are Jacob Estis, Dusty Estis, Braxton LeBlanc, Nick Rader, Kim Hebert and Bruce Broussard.
