Evansville, IN – Thomas Richard Theis, Evansville, Indiana, age 67, went to be with His Lord and Savior Saturday, April 13 2019.

He is survived by his loving wife of 46 years, Jane, his son Thomas, his daughter, Amanda, (Son-in-Law Micah), 3 Grandkids, Isaac, Hannah, and Eli, his brother Timothy, and sister, Pam.

Tom was preceded in death by mother Mary Helen, Father E. Fred Sr. and brother, E. Fred Jr.

Tom was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who enjoyed spending time with his wife, playing golf, fishing with his grandkids, watching IU basketball, Notre Dame Football, drinking a HOT cup of coffee, taking an afternoon nap and searching for things on Google. Therefore “Hey Google” was a common phrase of his.

Tom was a jack of all trades and had an inventor’s mind that was always looking to improve things. He had a sense of humor and kept everyone laughing all the way until the end. However, with all of the above being said, the thing that was most important to Tom was his faith.

In September of 1981 Tom’s heart and eyes were open to the revelation that Jesus died on the Cross for his sins. Upon that revelation, Tom submitted Lordship of His life to Christ and has been serving Him faithfully ever since. Along his journey of faith, Tom has always had an extreme devotion to the reading and studying of the Word of God, and therefore studied it diligently.

Visitation will be held at Word of His Grace Church at 2807 Stringtown Road on Thursday, April 18 from 5-7:30 with a short service to follow.

Simple Cremation Evansville is entrusted with care.
