Mr. John Walle, age 72, passed away at his home September 21, 2025, in Mount Hermon. Mr. Walle was born in New Orleans, LA, but had been a resident of Washington Parish for the past 24 years.

Mr. Walle was preceded in death by his parents: Alphonse and Idel Walle; and two brothers: Joseph Walle and Charles Walle.
Brown-McGehee Funeral Home was entrusted with final arrangements. A celebration of life will be announced by the family.
