John Tinniswood, recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living man, has passed away at the age of 112. He died on Monday at a care home in Southport, England.
Born in Liverpool on August 26, 1912—the same year the Titanic sank—Tinniswood’s extraordinary life spanned more than a century. His family said in a statement that his final day was filled with music and surrounded by love.
Tinniswood gained the title of the world’s oldest living man in April 2024, following the passing of Juan Vicente Perez from Venezuela, who was 114 years old.
A lifelong fan of Liverpool FC, Tinniswood shared simple yet wise advice for longevity: “If you drink too much or you eat too much or you walk too much; if you do too much of anything, you’re going to suffer eventually.”
His remarkable journey through life has left a lasting legacy as one of the world’s oldest individuals.
