Kenneth “Ken” Edwin Thomas

Kenneth “Ken” Edwin Thomas, 87, beloved husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away on Tuesday, January 24, 2023, in Granbury.

A memorial service celebrating his life will be held at a later date, to be announced.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kenneth Thomas Benefit Fund at First National Bank, PO Box 400, Granbury, Tx, 76048.

Kenneth was born on October 31, 1935, in Elk City, Oklahoma, to Bill and Jewell Thomas.  Kenneth and Mary Sue Heald married in 1977.  He proudly served his country in the US Navy and retired from Burns Security at the Comanche Peak Power Plant.  Before moving to Granbury, he spent many years in St. Joseph, Mo, where he was known for restoring and customizing old cars into showcase “muscle cars”, and he continued that passion in Granbury. He also had a passion for restoring motorcycles and minibikes, with two of his custom minibikes on show in the Harley Davidson dealership in Wichita, Ks.   Kenneth brought out the beauty of anything he touched, but most of all, he cherished time spent with his family – particularly his sons, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Kenneth is survived by his wife, Mary Sue; his sons, Mickey and wife Kelly Thomas of Kansas, and Bobby Cole and wife Taylor Thomas of West Virginia; 6 grandchildren; 6 great-grandchildren; his four brothers, Billy Thomas, Ronnie Thomas, Keith Thomas, and Clifford Thomas; and his sister, Linda Thomas Bender.

In addition to his parents, Kenneth was preceded in death by his son, Kenneth “Corky” Thomas.
