Leslie Allen Thomas (Les) was called home to his heavenly Father on Tuesday August 6, 2019. He was a brother, a son, a friend, a father, a grandson, and a veteran who long suffered with PTSD and mental illness. Les loved God, his country, and his daughter more than anything. His family never gave up on him and always stood by his side. There was always the hope that they could get his meds just right, find the right schedule, the right activity, the right treatment, release him of his troubles and he would return to us. Alas, it was not to be on this earth. His family is at peace knowing he is whole again in heaven: he is the goofy, joyful, dutiful, brave man we knew and loved. There were so many good times and so much love. In the funeral mass of the Catholic faith it tells us that love does not end at death, it just changes. We can feel that love so strongly now for Les. Rest In Peace sweet Les, we love you.

Les was born to Dr. Bobbie and Lucy Thomas in Temple, Texas on September 9, 1977. In 1979, the Thomas family moved to San Angelo. Les was active in the Boy Scouts and achieved his Eagle Scout.

Les loved the military and served his country with love and honor in the United States Marine Corps and later in the Army as a Green Beret. At the age of 17, Les enlisted in the Marine Corps and began training at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, California. After his service in the Marines, he became a licensed pilot. Later he enlisted in the Army Reserves where he saw active duty as a Green Beret during multiple tours in Afghanistan. He was awarded the Ranger Tab, the Special Forces Tab, the Army Achievement Medal (2nd Award), the National Defense Service Medal (2nd Award), the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, the Global War on Terrorism Medal, the Army Service Ribbon, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal W/M Device, Combat Infantryman Badge, Parachutist Badge, Master Parachutist Badge, and the Purple Heart.

Les is survived by his daughter, Camryn Marie Thomas, of Austin, Texas, his parents Bob and Lucy (Powell) Thomas of Mereta, Texas; his sister Heather Anne (Dan Longo) of Maryville, Tennessee and their children Iris Mae and Daphne Camille; his sister Angela Kaye (Kyle Hollon) of Mereta, Texas, and their children Kyler Thomas, Kyden Allen, Kyndall Angelique, Kolt Michael, and Kash Nicolas, and by his grandparents, Robert and Mary Lou Powell (Weaver) of Gatesville, Texas.

Shana Strom was born on April 1, 1982 and passed away on August 4, 2019.

Sally Pauline Evans Wilson was a remarkable woman of 88 years; born December 7, 1930 weighing a mere 2 lbs. 11 ozs. That was the first indication that Sally was going to be a fighter. Sally’s father, George Evans worked for Standard Oil. This caused their family to move often. Those frequent moves enabled Sally to be able to make friends with just about anyone. Sally and Bill met each other in Wink, TX in 1946. They fell in love rather quickly and she married Bill at the young age of 16. Bill went to work at Standard Oil as a pipeliner and his job took them many places. As a young couple they made it a priority to be active in their church and local community. Sally loved music, especially gospel music! She played the piano and had a beautiful alto voice. She also was a remarkable artist. Sally and Bill made a great team of crafters. Bill and Sally were so proud of their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They strived to have a special relationship with each of them. Sally leaves a big legacy despite her very small entrance into the world. While we grieve for the loss of Sally, we rejoice that she has left her earthly body and is rejoicing at the feet of Jesus in a new perfect body. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Water for All at Southland Baptist Church, 4300 Meadowcreek Trail, San Angelo TX 76904.
