Jimmy Dale Thomas
February 3, 1949 — November 7, 2016
After a two year battle with cancer, Jimmy Dale Thomas , 67, of Oak Hill, WV died on Monday, November 07, 2016 at his home.
Born February 03, 1949 at Oak Hill, WV he was the son of the late Robert C. Thomas, Sr. and Lovey "Polly" McClung Thomas.
Jimmy graduated from Collins High School after which he served two years in the US Army. He worked in the coal mines for a few years, but his main occupation was in construction. He worked road construction, mainly bridge building. An outdoorsman, he loved to fish and hunt. Jimmy's main goal in life was to work hard to ensure his family would be taken care of.
The family would like to thank Hospice of Southern West Virginia, especially nurses Courtney and Tammy for their care. Special thanks to Pam Brown and her staff for their help. Heartfelt thanks for everyone who has been so supportive of the Thomas family during their time of need - whether you made a phone call, visited, brought food, passed out our Halloween treats, whatever help was offered we appreciate each and everyone. The love and care you showed for Jimmy will never be forgotten.
Two brothers, Wayne "Caveman" Thomas and Danny Thomas preceded him in death.
Those left to cherish his memory include son, Jimmy Dale "Jimbo" Thomas, Jr. of Kincaid; daughter, Wendy Lang-Stinnett and husband, Dave of Beards Fork; grandson, Daniel "Buck" Thomas and wife, Micayla of Page; granddaughter, Monica Thomas of Kincaid; and great grandson, Remington Buck Thomas of Page. He was anxiously awaiting the birth of a great granddaughter in February.
Also surviving are brothers, Robert Thomas, Jr. and wife, Debbie of Oak Hill and Brian Thomas of South Carolina; his former wife, Yvonne Gay Thomas of Beards Fork; sisters-in-law, Ann Lowery and Sherry Thomas; several nieces and nephews; Michael Raynes his "second son" as well as co-workers, Larry Steele, Mike Thompson, Frankie, Wayne and others on his construction crew; and Bill White and Gary Philpott who he worked with in the mines.
The family requests casual attire be worn for the graveside service which will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, November 11, 2016 at High Lawn Memorial Park in Oak Hill with Rev.
