WORLD OLDEST MAN 'JOHN ALFRED TINNISWOOD' PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 112.(PHOTO).


 John Alfred Tinniswood, the world’s oldest man, has passed away at the age of 112. 

Born on August 26, 1912, Tinniswood lived a remarkable life spanning over a century. His death was confirmed by family members, who shared that he passed away peacefully on Monday at the Southport care home in northwest England, where he had been living. Tinniswood became the world’s oldest man earlier this year in April after the death of Juan Vicente Pérez Mora of Venezuela, who was 114.


A lifelong fan of football, Tinniswood was especially devoted to the English club Liverpool. His family revealed that his final day was spent “surrounded by music and love,” reflecting his warm and cherished personality. Tinniswood lived through some of history’s most significant events, including both World Wars, and was born in the same year as the Titanic tragedy.


When asked about the secret to his long life, Tinniswood often credited “pure luck.” Speaking to Guinness World Records, he once said, “You either live long or you live short, and you can’t do much about it.” This simple outlook on life resonated with many, as he remained humble about his extraordinary longevity.


Tinniswood’s passing marks the end of an era, and he will be remembered for his enduring spirit and love for football. His life serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of those who live through some of history’s greatest challenges. Family, friends, and admirers worldwide mourn his loss while celebrating a life well-lived.
