1947 - 2013
Ronald L. Thomas, 65, of Houston, was born November 25, 1947 in Silsbee, Texas to H. A. and Fay Thomas and passed away August 10, 2013.
He was preceded in death by his father, H. A. Thomas. Ronald is survived by his mother, Fay Thomas; his beloved wife and best friend, Sherry S. Thomas; his son Brad Thomas and wife Diana and their children, Sydnee and Aidan; his son David Thomas; his daughter Leah Thomas and her boyfriend Caleb Willhelm; his brother Donald G. Thomas and wife Dorothy; and his sister Cheryl Stutzenburg.
Ronald graduated from Lamar University and started his career as a certified public accountant at Arthur Andersen in Houston. He served in the US Army and was stationed in Japan.
He loved his time in Japan, music, golf, playing blackjack, his hunting lease near Fort Stockton, his home on the coast of Alabama, and making Sherry laugh, which he did every day. Ronald was an incredible husband and father and was so proud of each of his children and their accomplishments.
Services will be at 2:00 pm Thursday, August 15, 2013 at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, 15015 Memorial Drive, Houston, Texas, with a reception to follow in the Church's Parish Hall.

Ron has been our dear and steadfast friend. He made us laugh. No matter the inevitability of death, and even the almost certainty of timing, it never gets any easier. We are sorry for your loss.
