▰ John Eldon Thomas

Died August 09, … More Information
John Eldon Thomas, born November 22, 1942 entered eternal life August 9, 2015 in Greer, South Carolina. John was 72. Tags: #African #Parrot #John #Thomas #Opal #Kearney #Solomon #Pettis #Missouri #Marshall #Elizabeth #Benedick #School #Darin #Michelle #Josh #Purple #Sherwin #Michelin #Goodrich #Texas #Kansas #South #Emilie #Logan #Jersey #Wyatt
Obituary: “Okay”. “Okay” was John’s nightly response to Grady. Grady, an African Grey Parrot, is one of a variety of pets that took-up residence in John’s home over the years. While John liked dogs, his home always seemed to have more variety when it came to pets – a revolving door of turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, and more, that his kids begged to bring home. There were many days that John was not “okay” with sharing a home that could have passed for a zoo – mostly due to his kids’ failure to take care of the animals they wanted so badly, and that they had so intensely and assuredly promised to care for so that Dad would not have to bother. All in all, John knew that the pets made his family happy, so despite the added costs, constant noises, and unfortunate smells, John was “okay” with the zoo.

You see, born into a family of limited means, to his parents John Harold Thomas and Opal Hinton Thomas (maiden name Kearney, and later in life Solomon) in Pettis , Missouri, in 1942, John grew-up as a modest man that knew sacrifice and hard work. Losing his father when he was just sixteen, as an only child, meant that John grew-up quickly in Marshall, Missouri - so, things being “okay” would have been quite a nice thing for John. Fortunately, John set aside his modest upbringing and reserved nature to woo Elizabeth Kay Benedick – quite the catch, and his eventual bride of 52 years. John and Kay, high school sweethearts, he graduating in 1961, from Marshall High School, and she in 1963, would marry 31, 1963; they would spend the next ten plus years traveling and enjoying each other and their friends, before welcoming their first child, Darin, in 1974. Their family grew in 1976 with the birth of Michelle, and again in 1980 when Josh arrived. As a very proud family man that felt lucky to be on the journey of life with such a great spouse, things were pretty darn “okay” from John’s perspective.

As a Purple Heart recipient (Vietnam War), and as a well-respected employee, by such companies as Sherwin Williams and Michelin (Uniroyal and BF Goodrich), where he retired after thirty years of service, John’s increasing professional responsibilities called-upon his seemingly innate leadership ability. A strong problem solver that looked to set people up for success, John leveraged his blend of competence and genuine respect for people, to effectively pull the right levers necessary to produce quality work. Thus, things were pretty darn “okay” for John’s teams and his employers.

John took his leadership out of the office, and onto the field – the soccer field. Never playing soccer before his kids took-up the sport did not keep John from volunteering his time as coach - more than ten years, coaching each of his kids at some point. He was likely just going through the motions of being a parent that was just hanging-on, but what he could not have known, was how he was setting an example, building relationships, and creating memories - each of which had profound positive impact on the lives of his children, impact that will continue to be felt. Things were pretty darn “okay” from his kids’ perspective.

a life of hard work that began at a young age, and that took his family from Missouri to Texas, to Kansas, to South Carolina, John’s kids were excited to see him retire when he was 60 years old. He had time to enjoy his new grandkids, Emilie and Logan (Michelle), as well as play a little more golf with new friends. This time also allowed John to stop and recognize just what a great job he and his bride had done raising three kids that turned-into strong adults with bright futures. It was clear that things would continue to be pretty darn “okay” – and thus, despite leaving us too early, John can rest peacefully knowing that the family he leaves behind is strong enough to continue living his legacy.

John left his loved ones the morning of 9th after an impressive seven week battle to recover from a massive heart attack and cardiac arrest - a heart attack he suffered after traveling to New Jersey to see his newest grandson, Wyatt John Thomas (Josh). John had yet to hold Wyatt, and his last words, moments prior to the heart attack, when asked by Kay if he wanted to hold the baby, were that “[he] would hold him later”. John’s loved ones now know what those simple words mean - that John intends to serve as Wyatt’s protector in a spiritual sense. Things will be “okay”.

Despite living a rewarding and full 72 years, John will be dearly missed by the loved ones he leaves behind: wife Kay, daughter Michelle, sons Darin and Josh, and grandkids Emilie, Logan, and Wyatt – each of which consider themselves fortunate to have received John’s love, and to have called John either “Husband”, “Dad”, or “Papa”.

So, while the word “okay” may not seem lofty enough expectations to many, be mindful that it can serve as a worthy goal for a poor boy from Missouri to aspire to something better that is bigger than just he. That poor boy can become a coach, a leader, a husband, and a father, situated to positively impact the many people that come into his life. It takes a lot of work, a lot of love, and a lot of luck, to live a life for 72 years and have most of it be “okay”. Nestled within the “okay” is a ton of greatness, some sad, lots of joy, a ton of pride, and loads of love – nestled within the “okay” is a great life. “Okay”.
