Thomas Victor Lincoln Sr.

Thomas was united in marriage to Debborah Bell O'Dowd on January 13, 1967 and she survives.

In addition to his loving wife, Debborah of 58 years, Thomas is also survived by sons, Thomas Lincoln, Jr., Mark Lincoln; granddaughter, Elizabeth Lincoln-Halliwill, great-grandson, Jude Halliwill, great-granddaughter, Juniper Halliwill and brother, John Lincoln.

Thomas was preceded in death by both his parents, Victor and Beatrice (Heinzman) Lincoln and sisters: JoAnn Eden (Lincoln), Jeanie Podrasky (Lincoln), Sharon Hudson (Lincoln) and Patricia Shellberg (Lincoln).

Thomas loved to read, take cat naps and photograph with film. He loved every animal, big or small; he has an army of stray cats he took care of outside. He loved history, nature and numbers. He was an amazing husband, dad, grandpa and great-grandpa. He was a Jackson High school graduate and graduated Spring Arbor College with a bachelor's degree. He worked as a purchasing agent for many years at Eaton Corp. He unfortunately battled cancer for 3 years, but thanks to a great home care team, he was able to live out the last few months comfortably at home.

He will be laid to rest at Hillcrest Cemetery on Thursday, August 14, 2025 at 11:00 AM and a Celebration of LIfe luncheon will be held following the burial at The Hunt Club in Jackson.
