John Patrick Thomas, 85 of Sugar Land, TX died on May 11, 2024 quietly at home. He was born December 38, 1938 at St. Joseph Hospital in Houston, TX. He was the son of the late Charles Alton Thomas and Dorothy Louise Kohlhauff Thomas of Houston, TX. He married Ferra Sue Sparks on June 7, 1984. He was a member of the Sugar Grove Church of Christ in Meadow, TX.
He graduated from Stephen F. Austin High School in 1957. While in High School he worked evenings and weekends at Transcontinental Gas Pipeline. The reason he could do this was because his father was Chief Draftsman there at the time. He worked for many years at various companies as a contract pipe designer and draftsman before retiring--the last company being Dow Chemical.
John is survived by his wife Ferra Sue Thomas, adopted daughter Annette Woodard & family, adopted daughter Cheryl Armand and her husband Tim Armand and granddaughter, Ashley Armand, sister-in-law Pat Brewer and husband, Dale and adopted granddaughter Allie Ogletree.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Sugar Grove Church of Christ.
