Jack was born and raised in a small rural community. At an early age, he decided to travel the world and experience all he could, so he joined the United States Air Force and made a career of it. Retired MSgt. Thomas was an incredible leader and profound teacher. He was a Master Instructor that taught automatic flight controls on airframes that included KC-135; B-52, and F-4. As a military family and being stationed often at different locations, Jack and Donna provided a loving and caring home not only for their family, but the entire neighborhood. Jack was affectionately nicknamed Mr. T by the local children. The Thomas home was the gathering place.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Donna Thomas; daughter, Jackie Mathis and husband, Chris; son, Jack Thomas and wife, Angela; two grandchildren, Megan and Jaymes; two siblings, Cecil Gurganus and Patricia Brodie.
Jack is preceded in death by his parents and sister, Marie.
