Anyone who knows Harold, Poppie, would describe him as a family man. He was always supporting his family, whether it be at a rodeo, volleyball game, track meet or animal show. Rain, shine, sleet, snow he was going to be there to support his babies. He was a jokester. He loved to laugh and make others laugh in return. Harold was a lover of the outdoors and a man of the community. A few of his accomplishments include being a mason for the last 50 years, being part of the Waller County Fair Grounds, Field Store Cemetery Association, being a Justice of the Peace, and helping found the Waller County Little Britches (which is still active to this day).
Harold, Poppie, is leaving behind many people who loved him, his kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. But also, his honorary pallbearers who were Harold’s oldest friends and could tell us many stories of him in his heyday.
There is no amount of writing that could ever exemplify or describe who Harold Thomas was. This is not a goodbye but simply a see you later. Gone, but never forgotten, until we meet again.
Harold passed away on December 19, 2021. He is preceded in death by his parents Guy Franklin and Eva Blackford Thomas; and brother Guy Franklin Thomas Jr. He is survived by his wife Carolyn Thomas; son Guy Thomas and wife Tammy; daughter Julie Abke and husband Larry; grandchildren Paige Crisman and husband Peter, Cheyanne Priddy and husband Thomas, Taylor Guzman and husband Christian, Donald Rollings and wife Sandra; great grandchildren Anthony Crisman, Adalyn Crisman, Caroline Priddy, Casey Priddy, Jazzlyn Rollings, Zoe Rollings, Eleanna Rollings; as well as many friends.
