JAMES EARL THOMASON

January 17, 1938 – January 16, 2012
After a long battle with cancer, Jamie's Lord took him home with Him on January 16th, 2012.

There will be a Celebration of Life service at the First Baptist Church of Troy at 20 Church Street, Troy, Texas 76579 at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 21st. Anyone who wishes to share their experiences with Jamie is invited to do so. Let's have a good time, and enjoy our relationships with Jamie. After the service family & friends will meet at the First Methodist Church of Troy, 402 Main Street to catch up and have lunch. In Lieu of Flowers, please make donations to First United Methodist Church of Troy, P. O. Box 9, Troy, TX 76579.

Jamie was born in Fort Worth, Texas on January 17th, 1938. While there, he attended Pascal High School and Texas Christian University. He loved tinkering with hot rods, and flirting with all the pretty Texas girls. It's a good thing his mom was a nurse because he continuously needed stitches and home
health care. Jamie is preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Crystal Thomason, step-father, Jeter Cobb, a sister, Gail Steele. He is survived by his wife, Mary; daughters, Jamalyn Ackley (son-in law Adam), Krisha Thomason, Shandon Henderson (son-in law Dale, who has became like a son to him over the years); and son, Stacy Wade Noland. He was a loving father and loved playing games with his friends and grandchildren, Joshua Ray; Chelsea Ray; Holt Frazier; Derek Ackley and great grandson, Jourden Stubblefield. He is survived by numerous brothers & sisters-in laws. Honorary pallbearers will be his Men's Fellowship group, Gary Doughty, Russell Reinhardt, Bill Tyler and Sammy Wilson.

Jamie owned several Sizzler Restaurants in Houston; he sold those to go into the car business and worked and worked for Vance & Son's, then Archer Chrysler for many years. Jamie loved playing softball with the Harris County Senior Softball League and was on a traveling team, making fun trips to many cities across the country, enjoying friendship and fellowship with his teammates. He retired from Texas Department of Criminal Justice in 2004. He loved to travel and campout, but most of all he loved to fish.

He was a member of First United Methodist Church of Troy. He belonged to the Men's Fellowship Group where he enjoyed many community service projects. I guess you could say Jamie was a talker. He loved to greet individuals as they came into church, loved talking about the Lord and teaching the Retired Adult's Sunday School class. If anyone ever needed help in anyway, all they had to do was call on him, and he was there for them. Actually, he preferred the trenches to leadership. He worked at Churches Touching Lives for Christ in the food pantry or went to United Methodist Community On Relief on mission trips. Jamie was always on the go. When he gave his word, he always kept it and consistently--a very honorable man. We will miss him. Jamie was a lover of life and he loved you all.
